Rails to Trails: Recreational Conservation
Audubon Society of Central Arkansas meeting
Thursday, April 14, 2022
7:00pm - 8:00pm Central Online Event
This is Audubon Society of Central Arkansas's monthly meeting. All are welcome to tune in. Following the presentation we will conduct our business. This month's presenter is Matt McNair, Division of Arkansas State Parks. His talk will focus on the potential conservation benefits of an extensive rails-to-trails system in Arkansas, with rail trails providing not only a space for human recreation, but serving as corridors for wildlife, birds, and pollinators.
