This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Earthworks.

Walking around on steep terrain can be fun.  Twisted ankles are less fun.  Let's make a foot path to allow for safer travels on steep ground!

 
 

Here's the start of a video series showing what we're after:


Minimum requirements:
  - At least 50 feet long
  - On steep ground, a berm or hugel
  - Trail can go up and/or across the slope
  - Immediately seed disturbed soil
  - Can be for feet or mountain bikes

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Steep ground you're starting with
  - Path location marked out
  - Work underway with the tools you are using
  - Finished path showing length is at least 50 feet
