About Deciding On Trails: 7 Practices Of Healthy Trail
Review "This first (and only!) book on trail towns...Deciding on Trails is fun to read and inspiring. It is a must-read for people who live in trails towns, operate businesses and provide services near trails, town councils and government officials, and trail professionals...This book should be in public libraries in every town near a trail, and in libraries serving the travelling public."―Sam Demas, Hut2Hut.info"The book is very well structured and takes you on a three-part trail starting with a history of trail towns...It's very readable and the author keeps reminding you where you are and why you're reading. It stops short of being a step-by-step how-to guide, only aiming to send the audience down the right path."―Charles Pekow, Cycling West"Finally, stay-at-home news to cheer about. In 2020 Amy Camp was able to sit down and write the trail town book she's dreamed about since 2014. For Amy, putting her trail town thoughts into a book was a passion project taken on at just the right time; with her travel at a halt she had a project to commit to and be excited about. Now those of us in the trails world have a book full of ideas to help fulfill dreams of developing our own trail town program."--Jim Schmid, American Trails Product Description DECIDING ON TRAILS is for every local champion, thought leader, and dreamer who knows that trails can make a difference in their community if only their town would recognize the value of trails. Written by one of the first Trail Town practitioners, it covers the history of Trail Towns, recommended best practices, and how the concept has been adapted in dozens of places around the U.S. and Canada. This book is not a “how to” for structuring a Trail Town program. Rather, it is a call to action for trail communities and those dedicated individuals who want to cultivate a trail culture, embrace Trail Town best practices, and to once and for all “decide on trails.” If you want more for your community and know that trails are part of the solution, this is the book for you. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT DECIDING ON TRAILS“Deciding on Trails is a ‘must read’ for communities that hope to integrate trails into their placemaking efforts. Amy’s passion, knowledge, and empathy are evident in her work and make her the perfect person to tell this Trail Towns story.”--Laura Torchio, Director of Education, Project for Public Spaces“This ground-breaking book addresses head on something that has long been missing from conversations about trails: that they are more than the sum of their economic impact. Amy perfectly captures the many reasons communities ought to connect to their trails. Easy to digest, fun to read, and full of inspiration, this book is destined to become a staple in my trail reference library. “ --Mike Passo, Executive Director of American Trails “Deciding on Trails is a book for people who want more for their places. This carefully researched, heartfelt book will easily convince community champions to embrace their trails. And these pages are not only full on inspiration, but this book provides these champions with the tools they need to make the most of their community’s trails."--Kent Spellman, Consultant at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy From the Author I spent years dreaming of writing a book about trail towns. I conducted a few interviews as early as 2014, but it took me until 2020 to finally write the book. Truth be told, had I written it in 2014, it would have been a very different book. I started Deciding on Trailsin January 2020. Eight months later, I had a proof copy in my hands.I write this in full recognition that 2020 was a terrible year for so many. Even those whose physical health and livelihood were not affected by COVID-19 were suddenly juggling more than they ever had. As for me, my home and professional life hadn't changed as significantly as others' may have, other than my work-related travel coming to a halt. Deciding on Trails gave me something to
