What’s the connection between Central Oregon’s trails and a thriving local economy? Join an engaging conversation exploring how trails support businesses, attract talent and visitors and contribute to this region’s quality of life.
Hear insights from ECOnorthwest; Dr. Mark Buckley, Buckley Economics; Jana Johnson, Deschutes Trails Coalition; Nate Wyeth, Visit Bend; Dustin Smith, Mt. Bachelor; and Brandon Tyler, Riverhouse Lodge.
Together, we’ll explore why trails matter to employers, how public-private partnerships are shaping the future of trail stewardship, and what initiatives like the Deschutes Trails Coalition’s $1 for Trails Program mean for businesses and the community. Whether you’re an outdoor company or not, you’ll leave with a new perspective on why the future of trail systems is everyone’s business.
