Diana Bolton, Staff

Trail Program Manager

Diana’s connection to the outdoors was forged on the trail. From hiking and backpacking to climbing, cycling, and paddling local waterways, trails have long served as her gateway to recreation and nature. These experiences not only shaped her passion for outdoor adventure, but also deepened her commitment to conservation and access. Over time, this passion deepened into a commitment to bridging the urban core and the natural world – ensuring that access to outdoor spaces is not a privilege, but a basic right. She believes that when all people can safely reach and experience nature, they’re more likely to become stewards of the land themselves.
With a background in Environmental Science and Landscape Architecture, Diana joined CORA in spring 2025 as the Trail Program Manager. Prior to her role at CORA, her work centered on expanding park and green space access, designing sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable urban systems that benefit both communities and ecosystems and inspire lasting advocacy.
