Radford Conference Includes A.T. Hike

The Roanoke (VA) Times of 21 April 2007 has a Paul Dellinger article titled "Green infrastructure conference coming to Radford; The conference will also include some outdoor activities for participants."

It describes the 17-19 May "Building Trails to a Greener Future" conference to be held at Radford University. Part of the description is this:"The conference will actually start May 17 in Pearisburg, where a "walkable communities" workshop will be presented by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Lunch is included. Afterward, an afternoon hike will be offered to a Wilburn Valley overlook during which participants will learn about a realignment process for the Appalachian Trail in Giles County." So that would also cover the 'outdoor activities' promised by the subtitle.

The conference's main sponsor is the New River Valley Planning District Commission.
