Sharing and Discussion Platform
After the completion of round-the-island network, TMI Trail continues its work by raising awareness about the trail and the greenway mission through book publishing, discussion sessions, workshops, and forums. In a span of 7 years, TMI Trail has been holding more than 70 seminars to campaign for its vision among the citizens, community workers, professors, governors, and legal representatives. TMI Trail also held forums in local communities to facilitate the collection and exchange of ideas from the residents and interested participants.
Celebrating “Taiwan Trail Day”
TMI Trail proposed the first Saturday of every June to be the Taiwan Trail Day; “To Do One Thing for the Trails”. TMI Trail wishes to engage more people to share their stories about the trails and reinforce the power of the public to maintain our beautiful trails. Come join us at the sites and protect our environment!
