February 2012 Trails Summit

The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network ( www.fabr.ca ) is devoted to find to building a sustainable and prosperous life within the Biosphere. Among its many other initiatives, it sponsors the Biosphere Trail Council. The Council has decided to develop a vision and strategy for trails within the Biosphere.

We plan to hold a Trails Summit early in 2012 to harvest ideas and set the direction for the Strategy. In the run up to that, the Biosphere Trails Council is going to consult broadly with a range of stakeholders. We will be doing an electronic survey for an extended family of trail organization and users.

For further information, contact Jennie Kapusta at the Biosphere office (jennie@fabr.ca) or Andrew Graham, Chair, Biosphere Trails Council (andrew.graham@queensu.ca ).
