What is a vision?

• A look at the future (long term)
• It includes both path (the trail) and purpose
• It is idealistic (a dream)

A ‘vision’ is based on what people want rather than what they think is possible.

• What are we ultimately trying to achieve?
• What do we wish to happen?
• What is the right thing to do?

A vision is seeing your project as part of the wider community

• its interests and economy

A vision is the means through which the agency can convey its values and goals.

A vision addresses these questions:

• "What will be different in our community in 3 to 5 years because our Trails project exists?” and,
• "What role will Trails play in creating that difference?"

A vision is not:

• Worrying about specific activities or implementation details
• Focusing on the obstacles.
