Subject: Forks of the Ohio Trails Symposium- March 8

Hi everyone, 
Casting a wide net in case some of you would be interested in this one-day trails conference.  For some of us the interest is in the trails, for others it might be the workshops on the on-road and pedestrian improvements…. but I will say that I expect a good deal will focus on big picture, long-distance trail planning that may include some on-road linkages.  

Trails symposium in Pittsburgh on Friday, March 8.  Cost is $30 and includes lunch.  The area of focus is Northern Panhandle and north-central WV (down to Harrison County- and North Bend folks?)  to connect with neighboring states. This is an opportunity to hear and talk to some big funders and focus on big picture planning and marketing as we try to link across state lines and create more long-distance trails.  Looks like Perry Keller will be speaking on behalf of WV in this picture. It would be great to get more WV in attendance to show our support and desire to be in these plans.  Please share this and try to attend!  Thanks, Ella
