WEBINAR – TrailNation Spotlight: Delta Heritage Trail State Park
Join us for a new TrailNation Spotlight series highlighting innovative trail network development across the country and foster peer-to-peer learning. These concise, high-impact sessions offer a unique opportunity to hear from trail network innovators, explore successful strategies, and build momentum for this infrastructure across the country. This is the second in a series of deep dives we’ll take ahead of October’s TrailNation Summit.
This month we’ll learn about Arkansas’ Delta Heritage Trail. Becky Flynn in the Arkansas Office of Outdoor Recreation shared insights and inspiration from this developing trail network that is transforming the economic potential of communities in East Arkansas. The Delta Heritage Trail State Park will also serve as a case study for the TrailNation Summit’s master classes– immersive learning sessions where we’ll unpack lessons learned and best practices alongside people working on similar projects across the country and from leaders in the field.
We’ll also hear from Liz Thorstensen, RTC’s Vice President of Trail Development, who will preview how master classes at the upcoming TrailNation Summit will inspire collaboration and accelerate progress nationwide.
