Even though we had torrential downpours, spirits were high at the Kehoe Center, where the Vermont Trails and Greenways Council held the 3rd Annual Vermont Trail Symposium, on October 24th, 2009. This event bought together a variety of professional presenters and an audience that covered the recreational spectrum from motorized to non-motorized and small communities to state lands.

The Vermont Trails and Greenways Council is committed to bringing affordable and accessible education and networking opportunities to Vermont's recreation community. The Trail Symposium is our signature educational event presenting a forum where information can be shared by a diverse audience. This year we were fortunatey to have a very active audience which brought a high degree of interaction and participation to workshops. Engaging presentations, a great and diverse audience, combined with plenty of good food made for a great event! We are targeting the Northeast Kingdom for our 2010 Trail Symposium. The Vermont Trails & Greenways Council is in the planning process for next year's Trails Symposium and here's an opportunity where you and your voice as part of Vermont's trail community can make a difference. Please take part in this survey and add your input! Also, stay tuned for a "Save the Date" announcement for 2010. We hope to see you at the next Symposium!
