Rivers Alliance of Connecticut, in partnership with the American Canoe Association, Connecticut Forest and Park Association, The Appalachian Mountain Club, and The Sierra Club-Connecticut Chapter is presenting a conference on liability issues relating to hiking, paddling, and other forms of outdoor recreation or outdoor volunteer work.  The conference was inspired by many questions as to whether individuals, their groups, companies, or towns could be sued and held financially liable for outdoor recreation or volunteer work that they organize, support, publicize, or permit on their properties.

 

   The mission of the conference is to encourage outdoor recreation and volunteer work, by helping to understand and minimize the risks of accidents and exposure to litigation.  The   

   organizers of this conference believe that important individual and social benefits arise from enjoying and restoring the great natural resources of Connecticut and New England.
