City Trails March 12 & 13

Conference and Showcase
March 2026!

We’ve had strong interest and questions from people outside the area for many years. And our local community wants to learn more and find ways to be involved. We’re excited to be moving forward with a conference to learn and share.

Questions people ask about City Trails
Why? What are the benefits?
How did you do this? Support, Funding, Design?

Over and over I’ve been asked to give presentations in other locations, in other cities about Redding City Trails and the many amenities, and the economic development this supports. And now it’s time … we can invite people here to Redding! Feels really great. Thank you to everyone helping us all get to this place. Let’s celebrate.
– Anne Wallach Thomas, Executive Director

It’s time to celebrate our success, learn from others, and think about ways members of the community can learn more and support. With this conference – we have some lessons to share with others and we hope to learn more about the next steps and improvements we can make.
