2010 Conference Proceedings
The first Greater Cleveland Trails & Greenways
Conference held in June, 2010 offered an excellent
opportunity for public, private, and nonprofit professionals and trail advocates
to learn about the benefits inherent to these amenities and the tools needed
to develop them. The program also highlighted
the health benefits of recreational trail use and showcased the Cleveland Metroparks’ recently
completed Lake to Lake Trail. A special public session, Happy Trails & Healthy People Health & Trails Fair, followed the Conference.
