This webinar explores how levees can serve a dual role as flood protection infrastructure and recreational trails. Using the Miami Conservancy District’s century-old levee system and the Great Miami Riverway as case studies, presenters will share strategies for balancing safety, compliance, and community use while creating vibrant trail networks.

Learning Objectives:

Explain how multi-agency collaboration can support the development and maintenance of levee-based trail networks.

Identify best practices for engaging community stakeholders, local governments, and federal partners in trail planning and implementation.

Apply lessons from the Miami Conservancy District’s Great Miami Riverway to create partnerships that enhance recreational access and regional connectivity.
