Palmer McIntyre, Director, NC Year of the Trail and Coordinator, NC Great Trails State Coalition
2023 is North Carolina Year of the Trail, designated by the NC General Assembly. This campaign, the largest celebration of outdoor recreation in NC history, is an opportunity to celebrate all kinds of trails – hiking, bike, walking, running, paddling, equine – across the state and promote the many health, economic and environmental benefits trails provide to communities and people. Palmer McIntyre will share the goals and strategies of the campaign, how communities are engaging with the campaign, and how the campaign fits into a larger strategy to secure sustained state funding for trails.
