“Pennsylvania has a wealth of incredible trails for all outdoors pursuits and we are hoping to tap that pool of trail supporters who keep Pennsylvania at the forefront of quality trail activities,” Dunn said. “We are seek solid representations of these interests as we form the new Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee for the coming year.”
