RECREATIONAL ASSETS AND CONNECTIVITY STUDY Southeast Regional Service District Final Report
Project No. 150201 Prepared for: Prepared by UPLAND and Viridis Urban Planning + Design Studio 30 April 2016 Southeast Regional Service Commission Acknowledgments
UPLAND and Viridis would like to thank the trail group volunteers and municipal recreation staff who contributed to this Study by providing invaluable data, attending regional networking meetings, and giving the Study Team concise feedback on the draft results of the Study. Without the tireless volunteer efforts of the many trails stewards, the Southeast Region would not have the extensive motorized and non-motorized trail network its residents and visitors can enjoy today.
We would particularly like to thank the SERSC Project Team for their dedication, passion and enthusiasm.

2.3 Trail Groups A vast amount of local knowledge and trail data rests with advocacy groups that have worked tirelessly for decades to champion trail development in the region. Tapping into this knowledge, to a large degree held by community volunteers, and conveying it into this Study has undoubtedly been the most critical contribution to the recreational asset inventory. The following 18 regional and local trail groups were contacted by the Study Team and most provided information on recreational assets and/or attended the regional networking meetings:
• TransCanada Trail • NB All Terrain Vehicle Federation • Fundy Hiking Trail Association • Moncton Mudrunner • NB Trails Council • Albert County Trail Blazers • Fundy Biosphere Reserve • Cache Up NB • Tantramar Outdoor Club • Hiking NB • Parks Canada/Fundy National Park • Sentier NB Trail • Nature Trust of New Brunswick • Recreation NB • NB Federation of Snowmobile Clubs • Trans Canada Trail Foundation • Velo NB • Codiac Cycling Trails • Sentier de l’étoile

Description
The provision of safe cycling and walking routes around schools is perhaps the biggest opportunity for leaving a long-lasting impact in influencing attitudes towards active transportation. School locations should be integrated into adjacent active transportation networks or should be provided with their own local school catchment area trail facilities.
