Letter to the editor: KRLT to host nature, health & equity events

Posted

To the editor,

Living into the belief that access to nature is an essential human need, the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust (KRLT) and the University of Wisconsin Sustainability Office are hosting two events to help bridge the gap between nature, health, and equity.

The Kinnickinnic River Watershed is just 30 minutes southeast of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro region and a tributary of the St Croix River Watershed. As a greater community, we can work together to make sure ALL enjoy the benefits of nature.

Outdoors for All! A Community Conversation about Nature, Health, and Equity is a half-day event on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. The event is free, and one can attend virtually or in person, though registration is required.

Trails for All People: Creating & Managing Universally Accessible Trails Workshop is a two-day workshop on Oct. 19 and 20. There is a $50 registration fee and only in person.

Participants will be taken through an inclusive community design process to design and construct pedestrian trails that are usable by all.

Registration for both events is at www.kinniriver.org/outdoors-for-all/ or call the KRLT office at 715-425-5738 for more information.
