Beyond Workshop: Municipal Borders: A Regional Trail Network Emerges

From Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Inc:

Please join the Appalachian Mountain Club & Delaware & Lehigh NHC Trail Alliance for an exciting workshop Beyond Municipal Borders: A Regional Trail Network Emerges on April 19th in Riegelsville, PA.

An impressive regional trail network is emerging across the Pennsylvania Highlands. For Bucks, Montgomery, Northampton and Lehigh counties, the major “spines” are already in place: the D&L Trail to the east and north, the Schuylkill River Trail to the south and west, and the Perkiomen Trail in the center.

What can we do to connect these spines to the many local trails and communities in between?

This workshop will include a series of panels and presentations on the emerging regional trail network; tools to justify investment in trails in a tough economic climate; and strategies to plan and build trails beyond municipal boundaries.

We’ve assembled an exciting agenda with speakers covering a variety of trail related topics. Trail builder and advocate Bob Thomas (Campbell Thomas Architects) will provide a keynote address.
