“The Management of the Appalachian Trail: 101 Years in 20 minutes! . Cosmo explains, “From a 1921 utopian vision of a place for the masses to escape growing urbanization, to an iconic, world-renowned recreational and conservation resource, the Appalachian Trail is made possible by private and public entities working towards a common goal. Are there lessons here for managing trails in Williamstown?”
