Trail Planner with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC)
Kevin Belanger is a trail planner at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, helping communities prepare the planning documentation they need to identify and build trails and trail networks. Before joining RTC in 2016, Kevin spent many years in the active-transportation world—first for the Student Conservation Association, building trails in Arkansas (which instilled in Kevin a major appreciation for the impact trails can have on personal and community growth), and then as the bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for a suburb in Maryland. His educational background includes earning master’s degrees in both Environmental Studies and Community and Regional Planning from the University of Oregon, where he wrote his thesis on walking and biking habits in suburban multifamily housing.
