Trailblazing Connections: Community, Conservation, and the Call of the Wild

The Mosaic Life with Laura W.

Have you ever felt the earth's energy humming beneath your feet as you tread along a secluded trail, the serenity of nature a balm to your bustling life? Julie Jenkins, trailblazer and co-founder of Just Trails, joins us to share that very magic. In a stirring conversation, we travel through her personal narrative, from outdoor gear fumbles to her pivotal role with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Julie's journey isn't just one of self-discovery, but also a testament to the power of trails in knitting together communities and sparking vital cultural dialogues. Her insights on the complexities of trail systems and their histories underscore the healing and creative forces of our natural world.
Venture further into the essence of community engagement with our discussion on the collective shaping of outdoor recreation. We shed light on the importance of public input, the necessity of equitable development of public spaces, and the irreplaceable value of volunteers. Julie and I celebrate the triumphs of collaborative efforts, like the open space initiatives in Buncombe County, and advocate for the listener's voice in future trail expansions. This episode is not just a narrative of achievement and growth, but also a call to action for all to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of our trails and parks, laying the groundwork for tomorrow's outdoor legacy.
