Do Communities Build Trails or Do Trails Build the Community?

The Corry Junction Greenway Trail has been historically used by trail enthusiasts, but 2020 drove usage to double from July 2020 through February 2021! Like most areas, Corry’s finances tightened with COVID. How to develop trails then? What was needed? What started as a question has morphed into a plan and movement to extend trails in and around Corry. To link green spaces and provide places and opportunities for individuals to meet each other and talk instead of just waving when passing each other in cars. This session will describe what was done right, what was missed and what would be modified. The session will also provide insight to inventory community skills and organize for success, as well as discuss the surprise benefit of improving community relationships and offer methods to leverage that for success.
