Rails-to-Trails: A Valuable Resource for Outdoor Educators.
Fischer, Jim
Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, v5 n2 p10-11 Feb 1993
Describes the rails-to-trails movement, particularly in Ontario, where abandoned railways are converted to trails for hiking, skiing, cycling, and horseback riding. Proposes the often controversial rails-to-trails issue as a resource for discussion in outdoor leadership classes, focusing on rural and urban viewpoints. Also suggests using the trails for field trips. (KS)
