You are invited to a trails planning meeting for Eastern Plumas County!
Trails for Plumas County (TPC) and Plumas Corporation have been awarded a Sierra Nevada Conservancy grant for the creation of a Trails Master Plan for non-motorized trails on public and private lands. It is TPC’s goal, though thoughtful planning, to help prioritize trail projects and maintenance, provide public education and information dissemination that will allow us all greater access and enjoyment of our natural environment.
Trails for Plumas County is hosting the trails planning meeting November 20, 2008 from 6 – 8 p.m. at Chalet View Lodge Events Room in Mabie, CA on Highway 70. This meeting will focus on the Eastern Plumas County portion of the Trails Master Plan. We will also introduce a new interactive trails website being developed and begin dialogue about how groups and individuals can collaborate best to have the trails systems that trail users want. Chalet View is donating the meeting room and there will be a free raffle drawing for attendees including a $98 Chalet View Lodge gift certificate.
The goals of the meeting are to:
• Communicate with local trail users, trail organizations and agencies
about the creation of the Trails Master Plan
• Introduce Trails for Plumas County’s goals, mission, and board of directors
• Review TPC inventory of non-motorized trails & add missing trails
• Review of TPC trails questionnaire
• Introduce the interactive trails website
• Critic future local public workshops to receive public input for TPC’s Trails Master Plan and prioritize trail projects
If you cannot attend the meeting, we encourage you to submit a trail questionnaire at www.trailsforplumascounty.org (available online in December 2008) and share your trail use information which includes trails used, user type (e.g. hiker, bicycle, multi-use pathways, equestrian), impediments to use, suggestions for future trail development and maintenance issues. Questionnaire data will be incorporated into the Trails Master Plan to be submitted to the County for inclusion in the Plumas County General Plan. Additionally, public workshops will be held in the spring to prioritize trail projects and to gather public input for the master plan draft. For more information e-mail: info@trailsforplumascounty.org.
Please consider joining TPC or volunteering with planning meetings and trail project prioritization, mapping trails, writing trail descriptions and reports, or helping with educational outreach programs. We hope to hear from you soon!
