Jed Olson, executive director of the Outdoor Recreation Alliance, joined La Crosse Talk last week to discuss some of the completed and ongoing projects, including a huge one on the south side that’s about to get started.

That projects is the Community Trail Farm and a campaign to kickoff fundraising for the 277-acre site begins at noon Saturday.

The old ski hill, turned farm is now ready to be converted into world class hiking trails and more.

Olson also talks about some of the other projects — like the West Salem Bike Playground, which has a grand opening Oct. 24 — they have going, plus the goal of ORA Trails itself, in getting people outside and connected in a third space.
