Webinar Wednesday: So You Want to Build a Trail…

August 4, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

So You Want to Build a Trail: Tips for Planning, Design, Funding and Construction

Multi-use trails have seen a surge in popularity as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and are increasingly being used for transportation, in addition to their traditional role as a recreational amenity. Due to this increased demand, communities may be motivated to initiate local trail projects that promote outdoor recreation opportunities and connections to regional trail networks. 

The objective of this session is for planners to understand how they can help local governments and nonprofit organizations plan for and implement trail projects. Specifically, this session will touch on how to navigate the process, including how to conduct a feasibility study to hone in on realistic alignments, how to identify appropriate funding opportunities, and how to work with municipal staff and volunteers. The presentation will also highlight real-life examples of considerations that arise during the trail design, permitting, and construction stages. 

CM credit is pending approval.

Speakers: Donna Fabry and Chloe Mohr
