This year's program will focus on the issues of changing population dynamics in the state and their potential impact on implementing trails and greenways. Morning speakers will provide an overview of expected demographic changes, as well as a framework for understanding how and why we need to work with diverse groups of people. Our working definition of diversity is quite broad. At the end of the day, we hope to have a specific set of actions to support both the diversification of the Californian trails community and the implementation of the State Trails Plan. The one-day conference within the Symposium will also include the annual California Trail Award program presentation during the luncheon, which is included in the registration fee.
