Listen "how trails can rally small towns and big cities "
Episode Synopsis
In Robert Moor’s seminal book On Trails, he writes, “On a trail, to walk is to follow. Like a prostration or apprenticeship, trail walking both requires and instills a certain sense of humility.” Trails have such an remarkable influence not only on one’s psyche, helping people contemplate and commune with nature, yet they take us places of discovery. That’s exactly what the Pittsburgh to Erie trail imitative is doing, connecting the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region with Erie, PA. We walk with Courtney Maronich Vita, Director of Trail Development at Friends of the Riverfront and Kim Harris, Recreation Specialist for the Oil Region Alliance who are instrumental on this massive endeavor and how trails impact communities and people’s lives forever.
