Happy Holidays from all of us at Georgia Trails Alliance.
Many of you have asked about the next summit and we expect to hear plans soon from our future partners at Georgia’s The Trust for Public Land.
Stay tuned and Merry Christmas!

Maintaining your trail brand
Loads of work happens on trails in the summer because, well, we have more daylight and the weather is suitable to get stuff done and volunteers flock to the trails. Thus our facebook and twitter feeds are full of new trail openings, connections, improvements, advocacy, and so forth. We see new looks, colors, brands and beautiful wayfinding. Often the map itself is the only element that deviates from the brand, until now.
Mapbox.com/cartogram just tweeted the option to match your map to the colors of an image, any image. So we gave it a shot with our latest batch of trail photos. 5 seconds later…here is a sneak peek at the new trail extension that opened in our backyard this week and a color coordinated map of the area. We used a simple google map so the trail symbols are stars.
We hope you are enjoying trails this summer and will share your news with us.
Resources ready
Once again, the local economic impact of the Summit (as trails tourism) was significant with over $32k spent in Columbus, 140+ hotel nights and hundreds of local meals.
Find this summary online below, as well as links to slides you’d like to quote, and contacts to carry on the conversations. Please follow us on facebook and twitter throughout the year as we cover all things trail in Georgia.
