More Than a Trail: Creating a Comprehensive Trail Program

How do you turn an ambitious vision into a board-approved, countywide program?

This session explores the development and implementation of Loudoun's Trails and Waterways; an innovative initiative focused on creating an interconnected network of natural surface trails while conserving natural resources and expanding public access to waterways.

Attendees will gain insight into the program's evolution, from policy development and Board approval to land acquisition, planning, design, construction, and long-term maintenance. Presenters will share practical lessons learned, including both successes and challenges, to provide attendees with strategies they can apply in their own communities.
