Corry Satellite Event: Picking Blackberries and Building Trails: Regional Trail Expansion
Research and regional experiences demonstrate the benefits of multiuse trails, yet nearby residents often raise concerns. This session will cover the potential impacts of trails and answer the question: Why build them? It will explain how local plans for extending trails and connecting them to regional networks were developed, where they are wanted, and their anticipated timeline. Above all, it explores how this process can make the community stronger and improve the true sense of place.
