Roadmap
A 15-year roadmap toward net-zero trail running infrastructure
Trail Net Zero is guided by a long-term roadmap focused on building credible standards, scaling practical implementation, and supporting systems change. This roadmap is a living framework, updated as evidence and conditions evolve.
Phases
Phase 1: Community and Standards
Years 1–3
- Build a practitioner network
- Establish evidence standards
- Launch pilot projects
Phase 2: Implementation and Scaling
Years 4–9
- Expand pilots across regions
- Support material and operational transitions
- Publish annual field reports
Phase 3: Systems Integration
Years 10–15
- Embed sustainability into standard practice
- Support policy alignment and infrastructure change
- Measure and report ecosystem-level impact
What “living framework” means
As pilots produce results and constraints become clearer, the community updates methods, templates, and priorities. The goal is not static perfection—it’s durable infrastructure for better decisions over time.
