We have heard from many organizations across the Trails Community that finding insurance that is affordable while still covering the unique needs of small and volunteer driven trail and conservation stewardship organizations is one of the most pressing challenges our industry faces. Over the last two years, Conservation United and American Trails have been working hard to find an insurance provider that truly understands our industry and can aggregate small organizations to make a sustainable model, and this effort is finally starting to pay off.
Join us for this unique Town Hall, and bring your questions, to discuss the opportunities that now exist for small and mid-size trail organizations to find affordable and appropriate trail-specific insurance. This could be a game-changer for our industry. You won’t want to miss it!
Prior to this Town Hall, we strongly encourage you to check out the webinar that we held with Conservation United in June 2022 Recommended Liability Insurance for Trails Practitioners.
This webinar qualifies as a Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) course (via LA CES).
