NH Rail Trails Conference October 16

The New Hampshire Rail Trails Coalition (NHRTC), an affiliate of the Bike-Walk Alliance, is pleased to announce that the biennial NH Rail Trails conference will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2021. Because of Covid-19 Delta variant concerns, the conference has shifted to a 100% virtual format using the Zoom Meeting platform. All rail trail advocates, managers, developers, and funders should find the conference useful.

A lot has happened concerning NH rail trails since the last conference in October 2019.  New state policies, funding opportunities, increased popularity partially driven by Covid-19 and the NH Rail Trails Challenge, and completion / improvement of major rail trail segments enable more enjoyment for all users.  Linking the entire seven northeast regions via a “spine network” and bridging the gaps is a vision of the Rails to Trails Conservancy with new Federal funds helping to make it happen.

The 5.5-hour agenda will be split into morning and afternoon sessions.  It will include guest speakers from several NH state agencies and the Rails to Trails Conservancy.  There will also be online meet-and-greet time to talk with NHRTC Board members and guest speakers, and a chance for general networking.  Registration via Eventbrite is now open.  If you are not already on the NHRTC MailChimp list and wish to receive timely announcements, please send your name and email address to Dave Topham at dtopham@nhrtc.org.
