The US Forest Service and National Park Service engage in partnerships with a variety of organizations to help support our national trail systems. These "trail partnerships" take many shapes with various goals, management structures, and levels of success. The USFS and NPS have partnered with Virginia Tech's Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation to research the factors that may make these partnerships more or less successful and develop recommendations to improve current and future partnerships. In this session, James Freeman, PhD Candidate at Virginia Tech, will discuss the final results of the two-year study, recommendations provided by the research team, and future work to help operationalize these recommendations.
This webinar qualifies as a Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) course (via LA CES).
