Trust for Public Land (TPL) has had a hand in some of America's most iconic trails, including the Appalachian Trail in the East, the Pacific Crest Trail along the West Coast, and the Ala Kahakai Trail in Hawaiʻi. We’ve also long worked to connect cities to suburbs and rural landscapes through efforts like The 606 in Chicago, the Mountains to Sound Greenway in Washington, and the Cuyahoga—Lake Link Trail in Cleveland.
Our panelists will illuminate the many ways trails and trail systems are transforming our world for the better: You’ll learn how trails connect communities to their heritage through enriching historical and cultural experiences; explore how trails contribute to economic revitalization by attracting visitors and joining residents with local business districts; and consider how urban trails provide healthy and climate-friendly transportation routes for commuting and recreation by linking urban centers to neighborhoods and nearby natural areas.
Finally, you won’t want to miss our speakers’ top picks for hitting the trails this summer, so roll, walk, ride, or skate on over and join us for this informative and fun discussion.
Date/Time: Thursday, July 28 at noon (PDT) / 3:00 p.m. (EDT)
Space is limited so I hope you’ll register today!
