Trail Enthusiasts to Gather For Seventh Annual Caucus
The Seventh Annual Trail Caucus is scheduled for Monday, February 11, 2008 and will once again bring together trail enthusiasts from Fairfax County and the region to discuss recent accomplishments, specific projects and challenges ahead. The Fairfax County Park Authority offers residents unique trail experiences, along hundreds of miles of trail and is pleased to sponsor this caucus scheduled at 7:30 p.m. at Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria.
“We have put together an interesting program that covers a wide range of important topics,” stated Park Authority Trail Coordinator Jenny Pate. "The Trail Caucus serves as an opportunity for all of us involved in trails to take a moment and celebrate our successes before we move forward towards the next endeavor.”
The program will feature an introduction to natural surface trail construction presented by an experienced professional trail builder. Also on the program are a presentation on the Park Authority’s Great Parks, Great Communities planning initiative, volunteer recognition, a discussion of recent accomplishments by local trail groups, information about the recently completed Park Authority trail mapping project, and an update on Park Authority trail projects.
The program will be held in the auditorium at the Horticultural Center and refreshments will be available prior to the program. For more information call Jenny Pate at 703-324-8726.
