Getting From Here to There: Transportation, Open Space, and Climate Change

 

The Bay Area is home to a network of parks, trails, and open spaces where people and animals roam.  The Bay Area also consists of a network of streets, highways, bus lines, train tracks, and ferry routes that transport people to and from work, from here to there, and to and from the region’s parks, trails and open spaces.  Now more than ever the transportation and land conservation communities are working closely to address the effects of climate change.  A sustainable community is possible but there is a long road (or trail) ahead.

 

How do we get from here to there?  What role does land conservation have in the efforts to create a sustainable Bay Area?  What partnerships exist to build a transportation-friendly region?  And what is happening at a policy level that will drive (or pedal) change?

 

We'll discuss all of this at our Fog Gathering on July 21, 2011 from 10am-1pm at the Brower Center in downtown Berkeley.  

Speakers will include:

 

  • The Nature Conservancy
  • East Bay Regional Park District
  • Greenbelt Alliance
  • Rails to Trails Conservancy

 

 

Program starts at 10am and lunch will be served.
