Sense of Place: Building Partnerships and Maintaining Trails


Sense of Place Community Forums (Forum 1)

How do recreation groups and land managers work together to maintain and create trails? Granite Backcountry Alliance has made headlines with their active approach to working with land managers to expand local backcountry skiing opportunities. Join this forum to discuss how landowners, land managers, and recreation user groups can work together to maintain and improve the network of trails in and around the Mount Washington Valley. Panelists will share short stories illustrating how they’ve navigated user group–land manager relationships followed by a facilitated Q&A and group discussion about local trail-related issues.

Panelists:

William Abbott- Upper Saco Valley Land Trust

Cristin Bailey- U.S. Forest Service - White Mountain National Forest

Matt Coughlan- Recon Trail Design

Erik Nelson- New Hampshire State Parks

Tyler Ray- Granite Backcountry Alliance

Zack Urgese- Appalachian Mountain Club
