Casper Community Trail Charrette
A community trails discussion:
Wyoming Pathways is working with the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Casper, Natrona County, the Natrona County Outdoor Recreation Collaborative, Platte River Trails, the Central Wyoming Trails Alliance, and others to make sure your voices are heard regarding trails in Casper! The charrette occurred in June 2024; click here to review the report!
What is a Trail Charrette?
Here is an example of a 2019 Lander Charrette. The parameters of the Casper Charrette will focus on summer/shoulder season non-motorized recreation. The goal of the Charrette is to bring together the community and land managers, including you, to share your valuable ideas, discuss issues, and help determine priorities for trails in and surrounding Casper. Your input is not just important; it's essential.
What will happen after the charrette? The Trail Charrette is not a place where decisions are made; it is a planning exercise that will create informed and shared recommendations and priorities for use by public agencies and the Casper community. We encourage you to share this information with your networks.
Desired Outcomes:
- Participants understand the purpose and outcomes of the Charrette.
- Provide a summary of current conditions and agency plans.
- Identify trail needs, both summer and shoulder season, regarding planning, access, maintenance of existing trails, construction/reconstruction, signing, data collection, and use management.
- Generate a set of goals for the Casper area trails that will help guide future planning and funding activities.
- Identify Casper area trail partners and volunteer organizations willing to address priority needs and steps to encourage community trail stewardship efforts.
- Provide the community and local land managers/owners with a summary report of recommendations.
