Trails For Everyone Workshop

Lake Forest, November 1 and 2

Prairie State Conservation Coalition, Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, Vulcan Materials and Lake Forest Open Lands invite you to participate in a Trails for Everyone workshop in Lake Forest on Monday and Tuesday, November 1-2, 2021.

The workshop will be two full days covering the conceptual background and practical skills needed to plan, design, construct, and maintain “universal trails” – trails that serve as wide a range of users as possible, while also minimizing environmental impact.  (see agenda below).

The two-day workshop will be limited to 35 people and taught by Larry Knutson of Penn Trails LLC.  Larry is one of the foremost experts in designing, building, and promoting universal access trail systems and universal design for the outdoors.

Lake Forest Open Lands is hosting this event. Ryan London, VP of Conservation for LFOLA and PSCC Board member, can be contacted at rlondon@lfola.org with any questions.
