COG (Central Ohio Greenways) FORUM + BLOOM (Building Landscapes Of Opportun

For decades, many of our region's favorite trails such as the Olentangy, Alum Creek, and Big Walnut have safeguarded our river corridors from more intensive development. Today, we stand at the threshold of a new transformative trail building era, with unprecedented resources fueling trail expansion that will likely encourage more trail-oriented development in places where our natural environment is most sensitive.Join us for a timely conversation on riparian setbacks and sustainable trail development.

Discover how thoughtful planning can protect rivers, reduce flood risks, and preserve the natural benefits that biodiversity and community. Learn how adopting riparian and wetland setbacks can safeguard natural benefits while supporting vibrant, resilient development.
