of Public Forum Flyer Design: A white background with photos, description,
date, time and link to the May 8th public forum. There are three photos
across the top of the flyer: The photo on the left features two hikers
traveling side-by-side on an unpaved accessible trail, one is using a
mobility scooter. The middle photo depicts an accessible trail with a
crushed stone surface going through a field with tall grass, and trees in
the background. The right photo has a green sign in the foreground that says
"Massachusetts has thousands of miles of trails, less than 1% meet
accessibility standards", in the background there are hikers on an
accessible trail traveling away from the camera, one is pushing a hiking
wheelchair.

The title "Accessible trails" appears in dark green, all capital letters.

The line below says "public forum" in light green text. The middle of the
flyer has a dark green box with white text that gives a description of the
event.

The date and time appear at the bottom along with a link to register by
zoom. The bottom corner of the flyer also features the logos of the
Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation, the agency hosting the forum,
and three other groups that are also involved in the event: the
MassachusettsTrail Access Work Group, Unpaved Trails For All, and Dodson and
Flinker Landscape Architecture and Planning.
