Over 60 educational sessions will run concurrently on Friday,

included a tentative agenda below to help you plan your stay and
assist you in selecting which mobile workshops in which you may wish
to participate. Some highlights of the concurrent sessions include:
Accessibility: A series of sessions have been
programmed to bring you up to date on the Americans with Disability
Act and the impact of the regulatory process on trail design,
construction, and management. Sessions will range from reviewing the
status of regulations, to exploring design guidelines, to
highlighting case studies.
Trail Construction: Our emphasis on learning the art
and science of trail construction continues with indoor classroom
sessions.
Skill-Building: These sessions emphasize the nuts
and bolts. If you are new to trails or need a refresher, these are
the go back to school sessions. Learn about how to pull off great
events, become a stronger local advocate, get more funding, build
community support and much more.
Planning and Developing Trails: Join us for a series
of panel discussions where you can ask all your questions about
planning and implementing trails. These sessions will also cover the
latest innovations in developing trails.
