Strategic Conference and Public Meeting

Project Description: In the fall of 2006, MLTPA determined that the time was ripe for an engaged discussion and visioning process for trails and public access issues in the community of Mammoth Lakes. With support from the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, MLTPA (then an army of two!) convened a two-day Strategic Conference with more than 20 leaders from the local community and charged them with taking the first steps in the organization of MLTPA as a formal and incorporated non-profit. The result of this effort was the MLTPA Action Plan. Over the same weekend, MLTPA also presented "A Vision for Trails and Public Access in Mammoth Lakes," featuring a presentation by Jeff Olson of Alta Planning + Design. The Public Meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd of well over 300 people -- close to 5% of the Town's entire population.
