Join the SORP for this webinar. This discussion highlights the Useable Trail Roundtable, a collaborative initiative in Colorado’s Front Range that brings together land management agencies and partners to improve trail accessibility and user experience. The Roundtable’s founders will describe how the group was established, which agencies and organizations participate, and how the collaboration functions in practice. Participants will gain insight into meeting formats, field-based learning exchanges, and priority focus areas such as trail design, accessibility improvements, clear communication, and signage considerations. Presenters will also discuss tangible outcomes to date and outline future priorities and opportunities for expanding the model.

Learning Objectives

Understand the collaborative framework used to establish and sustain the Useable Trail Roundtable, including partner roles and coordination strategies.
Identify practical approaches for improving trail usability and accessibility through interagency learning, site visits, and shared technical problem-solving.
