About this webinar:
A small group of San Francisco trail activists and naturalists gathered together in the Fall of 2018; a year-and-a-half and $600 later, the San Francisco Crosstown Trail (SFCT) was born. Connecting a variety of neighborhoods with nearby local, state and federal open spaces, the SFCT, with its seventeen-mile tread of both dirt and pavement, stretches across San Francisco from the SF Bay to the Pacific Ocean. Since its inception on National Trails Day in 2019, the trail has attracted a vast number of enthusiastic users.
In this webinar, members of the San Francisco Crosstown Trail Coalition will tell the story of how they accomplished such a feat and the trail components they incorporated to make the trail so popular. In doing so, they hope that other trail activists and naturalists across the country will be inspired to do something similar in their own cities.
