The Quarterly Trails Forum is a peer-to-peer exchange of knowledge and ideas about planning, building, promoting and enjoying trails.

Do you work on trails or active transportation projects as an advocate, civil servant, or consultant? Do you enjoy riding your bike, hiking, horseback riding or paddling? Metro’s Quarterly Trails Forum is designed for you to network with fellow trail enthusiasts and learn about resources to help bring more trails to your community. For more than 30 years, Metro has convened these gatherings as a way to support each other’s work by fostering connectedness, collaboration and information sharing.

Membership

The Quarterly Trails Forum is inclusive and informal by design. There is no charter or membership roster. The general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Participation in the Quarterly Trails Forum does not require any special qualifications or affiliations.
