SUMMARY:Trails as Social Infrastructure: Practical Strategies to Build Connection in a Disconnected World
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rails to Trails Conservancy for this webinar\, and explore how trails and trail networks can function as powerful social infrastructure: places where people gather\, linger\, and experience community. \nTrail networks do more than move people\, they bring people together. At a time when loneliness and social isolation are rising across North America\, communities are searching for practical ways to rebuild connection and belonging. Research shows that more than half of Americans lack the relationships\, support networks\, and shared places needed for healthy social connections. We see multi-use trail networks as one of the most accessible and scalable solutions that bring people together across neighborhoods and generations. \n

SUMMARY:Aggregate Trail Surfacing: From Fundamentals to Field Application
DESCRIPTION:Join American Trails as they host this webinar which goes beyond materials and layering to explore how design\, construction\, and real-time field decisions shape long-term durability. \nThis aggregates 2.0 webinar is a follow up to the Fundamentals of Aggregate Surface Trails webinar held on December 5\, 2024. \nLevel up from basic installation to high-performance results. This session goes beyond materials and layering to explore how design\, construction\, and real-time field decisions shape long-term durability. Participants will learn how to optimize gradation and matrix selection for varying site conditions\, stabilize subgrades with geotextiles\, and achieve proper compaction through the right balance of moisture\, lift thickness\, and equipment. The session also covers planning a drainage-first construction sequence to minimize failures\, troubleshooting common issues like rutting and washouts\, and adapting methods for accessibility\, remote locations\, and changing seasonal conditions. Designed for practitioners who already understand the basics and are ready to deliver durable\, consistent\, and professional-quality aggregate trail surfaces. \nLearning Objectives: \n– Specify gradation\, fabric\, lift thickness\, equipment\, and moisture targets to meet performance requirements.\n– Build a drainage-first construction sequence that protects lifts\, preserves sheet flow\, and minimizes failures.\n– Diagnose common failure modes and high-durability remediation strategies.\n– Establish a practical QA/QC checklist\, including on-site gradation/compaction cues\, post-storm inspections\, and resurfacing triggers.
