Resources For Building An Unpaved, Universally Accessible, All Persons Trail
Consulting & Partnering
If you're building a new trail we'd love to meet with you to discuss some of the common needs and barriers around accessible and non-accessible trails. Email us to connect at UnpavedTrailsForAll (at) gmail
We may also be able to provide trail testing to identify barriers or areas where improvements could be made. The best way to ensure that your trail is as accessible as possible, and avoid costly mistakes, is to have actual trail users with accessibility needs test the trail out.
There are a wide variety of conditions that an accessible trail needs to support. If you're designing a trail to only meet the needs of mobility device users, your trail is leaving lots of people out. Talk with us about ways your trail can be more inclusive of everyone's needs. Email us to connect.
Advocacy & Support
For organizations in the Western Mass region, we can discuss ways that we can help advocate for and support your project.
