DEP Seeks Public Input for Trail Plans
~Attend one of 14 workshops to help DEP update statewide opportunity and priority trail maps~
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – DEP’s Office of Greenways and Trails (OGT) is in the process of updating its five year plan and statewide opportunity and priority trail maps, and is soliciting public input. As part of the update,
OGT will hold 14 workshops throughout the state – from Milton to
Miami – to receive input from trail users, local planners and the public. The
final draft of the plan and maps will be brought before the Florida Greenways and Trails Council in early
December.
“If you like to hike, bike, paddle or ride horses on trails, we
need to hear from you,” said DEP’s Office of Greenways and Trails Chief
Samantha Browne. “Your input can help shape the future direction of trails for
years to come.”
