Are you confused, concerned, or just plain lost when thinking about what is going on with our national public lands right now? Are you a trail user who is wondering about how your local recreation is going to be impacted this summer?  You are invited to join the Wood River Trails Coalition for a special Pub Talk event to learn about the developments and projects happening on your local Wood River Valley trails this summer. The event will be held on April 3 from 6:30-7:30 PM at Sawtooth Brewery’s Public House in Ketchum. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to WRTC Executive Director Sara Gress talk about what you can expect - from getting to the trailhead, what front-country amenities might be impacted, and what your trail experience could entail.   

Put the PUB in listening to a talk about trails on your PUBlic lands by grabbing a cold beverage and some crispy tots.  Whether you are an avid hiker, biker, runner, or someone who simply enjoys spending time in nature, there are plenty of ways for you to take concrete actions to support the trails of the Wood River Valley.  

“Whether you recreate on the Bureau of Land Management lands around Hailey (ie. Silver Linings, Hang Tight/Loose trails), or the US Forest Service trails around Ketchum (ie. Greenhorn Gulch, Adam’s Gulch, Pioneer Cabin, Baker Creek, etc), this is a great opportunity for the community to learn about what this summer will feel like on our local trails.  There are so many ways to get involved, whether it's through volunteering, donating, spreading the word, or just using the trails to show how important they are to our community. ” said Sara Gress, WRLT Executive Director. “We want to foster a sense of ownership and pride in the outdoor spaces that make the Wood River Valley so special.”
