Public comment invited on future of Washington’s trails

The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) asks the public to visit an online town hall to help plan the future of trails in Washington.

RCO is updating the state’s trails plan and the Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities (NOVA) plan. The 2013 Washington State Trails Plan will assess progress on providing trail recreation opportunities since 1991, identify emerging issues and set the stage for future planning. The NOVA plan update will guide funding to develop and manage recreation opportunities for activities such as cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, sightseeing, motorcycling and riding all-terrain and four-wheel drive vehicles.

To participate, visit the Trails Town Hall Web site at http://www.watrailstownhall.wordpress.com.
