This month in place of our normal roundtable discussion we hosted a free webinar where we sat down with Steve Kasacek, a professional trail planner, designer, and builder with IMBA Trail Solutions. Join us as we discuss questions such as…
What does it take to bring great trails to life?
What impact can trails have on community?
What does it mean to build “sustainable” trails?
What do different trail users want out of their experience?
How do design and construction needs change based on type of trail?
What are some of the common pitfalls that get in the way of having quality trails?
