"Trailology" is an interdisciplinary concept we first proposed in 2013. It is an effort to combine knowledge from different expertise and create a comprehensive education program for potential eco-craft trail volunteers.
Our Trailology course includes topics on ecology, trail-related policy studies, geology, history, trail maintenance skills and much more. These courses are further divided into introductory courses and advanced courses. Participants who completed the course, after being recognized as possessing at least one of the five core abilities for crew leader and trail master, will then enter the "trail master" training program.
(The Current Trailology Courses includes: Intro, Advanced)
TMI Trail has also collaborated with members across the globe to form the Trailology Collective, with the aim to put trail at the center of study, examining how different academic disciplines and practices can illustrate the uniqueness of trails. This ongoing initiative includes the Trailology Manifesto, the Trailology Volume, and many exciting opportunities for global cooperations. We have also given presentations and written essays on Taiwan's trail studies and field practices, see here for more info: https://mountainsteward.net/trailology/
