                      Blue Ridge Greenways Conference

Land-of-Sky Regional Council, with the help of many local and regional
organizations and advocates, is coordinating a regional conference on best
practices and successful models for planning, designing, funding and
building greenways.  The Blue Ridge Greenways Conference will be held in
Asheville, at the Grove Park Inn, on November 12-13, 2005.  It will feature
greenways and experts from Western North Carolina and other areas.  We hope
to attract over 100 citizens, planners and local officials to this two-day
conference.

The conference is focused on best practices, beginning and sustaining
greenway efforts, and partnerships.  It has sessions for beginners through
seasoned professionals and for those from both rural and urban areas.  This
conference will bring people together and give them an understanding and
appreciation of the important roles greenways play in the transportation
network, in protecting water quality, in economic development and improving
community life.  Attendees will increase their capacity to plan, fund,
develop and build greenways.

Funding for the conference is being provided by the Pigeon River Fund of
The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, the French Broad River
MPO, NCDENR’s Adopt-A-Trail grant program and local sponsors.

For more information, see our conference brochure which includes the agenda
and registration information.  It is available on Land-of-Sky Regional
Council’s website:

great speakers and sessions planned.  I hope you can attend!
