The single day forums are free, open to all and will seek to:
1. Document the importance of recreation to important societal goals
ranging from improved physical, mental and spiritual health to improved
educational systems, from local and regional economic vitality to
deterrence of crime;
2. Identify key needs and challenges to meeting the recreation needs of
the nation; and
3. Local and regional successes increasing the quality and quantity of
recreation opportunities which deserve consideration for expansion and
replication
These forums will provide a great opportunity for the Horse community to
participate as part of the larger recreation community. We should try to
have equestrians at these meetings so they are not dominated by other
users.
