SUMMARY:Saluda Library Speaker Series: Conserving Carolina – Creating Trails and Greenways to inspire appreciation of the natural world
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 8\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00 p.m. \nLocation: Saluda Library \nSpeaker: Kristin Cozza\, Trails and Greenways Manager for Conserving Carolina \nConserving Carolina has permanently protected over 49\,000 acres of forest\, farmland\, wetlands and other significant landscapes in our service area which includes Polk County.  Did you know that we also build trails and work with local communities to plan greenways?  Kristin Cozza\, Trails and Greenways Manager for Conserving Carolina will give an overview of Conserving Carolina’s existing trail and greenway projects and provide an update on our ongoing efforts to promote public access to the special places we help to protect including our role in advancing greenway projects across the region. \nAs the Trails and Greenways Manager\, Kristin supports Conserving Carolina’s efforts to build new public access trails and greenways with a particular focus on the Hickory Nut Gorge State Trail and the Saluda Grade Trail.  Kristin has called WNC home for over 20 years and is very grateful to live and work in such a beautiful place.  She has worked as a watershed planner for the State of NC\, in consulting for Confluence Engineering and Headwaters Engineering and for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.  Kristin has a BA from the University of Virginia in Environmental Science and Masters’ degrees in Public Policy and Environmental Management from Duke University.  In her free time\, she stays busy biking and gardening. \n \nThe Saluda Library Speaker Series programs are made possible thanks to our partnership with the Polk County Public Libraries Systems. \nContact Pam Torlina\, pam@conservingcarolina.org\, with questions or for more information.
