The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is accepting letters of interest for seven Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee appointments representing the following user groups: bicycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, water trails users, and three members at large.

The Committee is a 20-member, DCNR-appointed committee that represents both motorized and non-motorized trail users and advises the Commonwealth on the use of state and federal trail funding.

It is charged with implementing the recommendations of the PA Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and the PA Land and Water Trail Network Strategic Plan to develop a statewide land and water trail network to facilitate recreation, transportation, and healthy lifestyles.

Appointed members will serve a three-year term beginning January 1, 2019. Interested candidates must submit a cover letter and resume by email to: RA-explorepatrails@pa.gov by October 31.
