Have you ever wondered “Why” people want to share their experiences, volunteer, or donate their time, money, and energy to trails? This presentation is about building communities in support of sustainable, natural surface, multi-use, public trails.
While most would say it takes funding and sometimes major funding to build and maintain trails, I would ask us to consider trail funding as a continuum. Trails are about experiences and we strive to share those experience with others. Fun is contagious, we want others to enjoy and create memories or achievements like we’ve enjoyed. This is the first component of this webinar. Sharing can be welcoming and inclusive, because we want others to enjoy or make their own memories. Expanding our network or user communities will hopefully lead to additional volunteers and trail stewards.
The webinar will also touch on what the presenter calls the 4 guidelines for trail building.
