Pennsylvania DCNR Accepting Nominations For Trail Advisory Board


HARRISBURG, Pa., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary John C. Oliver today announced that the agency is seeking nominations for four new appointments and one vacant position to the Pennsylvania Recreational Trails Advisory Board (PARTAB).

The board consists of members from nine different types of recreational trail uses. The four new positions are for representatives of the physically challenged, water trails, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and snowmobile users. The vacant position is for a bicycling representative.

"Pennsylvania boasts thousands of miles of trails for all recreational uses," Secretary Oliver said. "PARTAB members play an important role in advising DCNR on balancing these varied recreational needs."

PARTAB was created in October 1992, in accordance with the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21). The board's primary function is to advise DCNR on general trail use throughout Pennsylvania, including the use of federal trails funding.

In addition to the five open positions, members represent cross-country skiing, off-highway motorcycling, horseback riding and four-wheel driving trail uses.

Nominations must be submitted to DCNR by Sept. 20. Appointments will be made by Secretary Oliver. Appointees will serve a consecutive three-year term, while the vacant bicycling term will expire in one year.

To obtain a nomination form, or for more information on PARTAB or the nomination process, contact DCNR, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation, Pa. Recreational Trails Program, Harrisburg, PA, 17105-8475; phone (717) 772-3319; or e-mail Scott Cope at sccope@state.pa.us.
