recreational trail planning

Recreational trail planning involves designing and developing trails for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and walking. It aims to balance nature conservation, community needs, and user safety. Planners assess the landscape, choose suitable locations, and decide on trail types and features. They also consider accessibility, maintenance, and environmental impact. Involving local communities and stakeholders is crucial to ensure the trails meet diverse recreational needs while preserving local ecosystems. The ultimate goal is to create enjoyable and sustainable spaces for recreation that enhance public health and appreciation of nature.
