Do You or Your Clients Have a Desire to Reduce Maintenance Costs Related to Ranch, Fire and Utilities Access Roads?
Finally! An easy to read field guide that communicates important design and maintenance principles with the use of highly effective graphics.
There are many publications that discuss how to build new roads. This field guide is unique in that it focuses on what most ranchers, road managers and equipment operators actually need -- a better understanding of how to evaluate problems and develop solutions that apply to a network of existing roads.
University Cooperative Extension agents praise the Wildland Solutions "Low Maintenance Roads Field Guide" as a needed tool to effectively communicate to their clients the benefits obtained when they adopt any of the maintenance strategies offered in this field guide.
Road maintenance equipment generally costs $80-$120 per hour to operate. The field guide is a good investment if it only eliminates 10 minutes of future road maintenance effort!
Workshops are an Excellent Method to Improve the Understanding and Acceptance of Low Maintenance Road Concepts.
Wildland Solutions conducts workshops that significantly enhance the understanding of road maintenance problems. Attendees, as a group, study and discuss the principles and problem-solving strategies presented. After attending a workshop, participants are able to better understand what causes high maintenance problems and what can be done to reduce long term road maintenance needs. Most attendees have already identified a solution to one of their own high maintenance problems before they leave the workshop!
