In Session 2, we’ll discuss the importance of building a community for trail building. We’ll talk about the benefits of having a strong club/advocacy organization, resources for creating a new one, and how to gather community support for trail projects. We’ll also cover who trails benefit, landowners/managers, types of land managers, and how to identify and work with them. Additionally, we’ll discuss other community stakeholders, such as city/county officials, developers, and elected officials.
Finally, we’ll talk about ways to get involved, plan successful trail work days, participate in public discussions/comments, and make trail building seem cool, professional, and fun.
