WeConservePA is now accepting registrations for the 2021 Greenways and Trails Summit to be held September 19-21 at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center. The theme this year is Blue, Green & Everything in Between: Connecting PA’s Land and Water Trails.

This bi-annual summit aims to inspire improvements and expansion to Pennsylvania's trail system, build peer networks, and celebrate successful projects connecting the public to land and water trails throughout the state.

Keynote Speaker

The keynote speaker for the Summit will be African American activist and environmentalist Fred Tutman who has embarked on an 18-year (so far) journey to reconnect to his own origins and mobilize a movement to salvage one of Maryland’s most geopolitically significant rivers.
