Join us for a webinar on how we can all rethink trails as public spaces that are fully accessible and inclusive of older adults.
An aging population and longer lifespans provide an opportunity to engage potential trail users of all ages and abilities. Join us for a webinar on how we can all rethink trails as public spaces that are fully accessible and inclusive of older adults. Attendees will learn about how at any age, they can work to make trails more comfortable for everyone. Hear about the preference for trails and their design features from older adult trail users in the U.S. and Canada through the 50+ Cycling survey and a study of ten older adult communities in California. Presenters will share the features and techniques employed in age- and dementia friendly communities that can help better activate trails as a health and community benefit. Attendees will learn about real-world examples, approaches to pursue funding, and resources to help inform stakeholders and engage potential partners as well as simple actions individuals can take on existing trails today.
