This year we are pleased to announce an all day session on the 8th with internationally recognized authority on bicycle/pedestrian issues, urban trails and livability, Dan Burden. The West Virginia Department of Transportation is very excited about this opportunity to have Dan share his experience with the trail community in West Virginia.
In addition, the City of Wheeling and the various volunteer/citizens groups in the area will be leading a tour of the Brooke Pioneer/Wheeling Heritage trail system. This tour will highlight what has been accomplished in developing one of West Virginia’s pre-eminent urban trail systems and what is envisioned for the future.
The tour will be available to conference participants on September 9th; a morning and afternoon tour will be held concurrent with the conference’s breakout sessions. A late afternoon tour (directly after the end of the conference) is tentatively scheduled for conference instructors and anyone who missed the earlier tours, but would like to stay.
To participate in the tour you must sign up for it and be assigned to a particular tour. Space is limited and it will be “first come, first serve”.
The breakout sessions for September 9th is a well rounded program including such topics as:
Trail Bridge Construction;
Accessibility for trails per the US Forest Service’s guidelines;
Land and Water Conservation Grant Opportunities.
