Webinar – Trail Funding Unpacked: Navigating Resources for Sustainable Maintenance
Join the TrailNation Collaborative, powered by Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC), for an interactive discussion exploring federal funding streams for trail maintenance. Participants will learn about the funding opportunities available, and have a chance to engage directly with their peers through breakouts on barriers and strategies to make the most of these opportunities.
During this highly interactive, 75-minute virtual gathering, we’ll come together to tackle critical and emerging topic. This dialogue will feature a brief presentation and case studies on the subject matter at hand, followed by guided discussions to brainstorm ideas, best practices and solutions.
