MI Trails 2050 Summit - U.P.
Tuesday, June 3 · 9am – 3pm EDT
Location – Northern Center 1401 Presque Isle Avenue Marquette, MI 49855
Imagine a Michigan where trails seamlessly connect communities, promote health and wellness, and fuel economic growth. This is the vision behind MI Trails 2050, a collaborative initiative to create a roadmap for the future of trails in our state.
Trails are unique in the way that collaboration and coordination is required to plan, build, and promote sustainable use and maintenance. A statewide trail planning and public engagement effort at that scale last took place in 2007, creating the “Connecting Michigan” plan. This update to the plan will involve diverse stakeholders from across the state representing government, community organizations, businesses, and public and private funders.
