Trails & Greenways: A priority for Greater Cleveland

Recognizing the value of trails and greenways, decision makers, planners and practitioners, and trail advocates from around Greater Cleveland will gather on June 6 in Independence, Ohio to share ideas, discover new tools, and set the stage to transform plans and concepts into successfully completed projects.

In addition to providing learning and networking opportunities, the Conference will launch an ongoing Forum to facilitate planning, track progress, promote, and especially drive development of local trails and greenways as Pathways to Successful Communities.

Building on feedback from the successful 2010 Conference, this event will include expert speakers, topic panels, peer learning, open discussions, and networking opportunities.

The 2012 Conference is an opportunity for professionals, trail & greenway advocates, community leaders, and tourism & business interests to:

• Explore emerging trends in design.
• Build skills for funding and project success.
• Understand how trails & greenways benefit the economy, environment, and health of thriving communities.

Learn from experts, share ideas and experiences, and develop the vision and tools to build pathways to successful communities.
