A part of the American Trails Advancing Trails Webinar Series, “Towards a Mountain Trail Sustainability Ethic“ is the third of a series of three on Sustainable Mountain Trails. Part 3 and 3 features interdisciplinary collaboration on complex projects and wilderness policy and how that affects trail implementation at Rocky Mountain National Park with our speakers Ian Brighton and Danny Basch; plus outstanding trail implementation work according to sustainability criteria from Boulder Mountain Parks and Open Space (presented by Greg Seabloom), as well as cutting edge examples of Ecological Restoration and processes to integrate that into the planning / design / implementation process from Restoration Ecologist John Giordanengo of AloTerra Restoration Services. Hugh will be today’s facilitator and bring synthesis to today’s topic: “Towards a Mountain Trail Sustainability Ethic.”
