Chair thanks volunteers who maintain Highland Springs trails
Summary
The chair recognized about seven county-vetted volunteers who maintain miles of multi-use trails at Highland Springs Recreation Area, saying the county relies on their weekly volunteer work and that the trails bring recreational and economic benefits.
The chair told the board the county has about seven volunteers vetted through the county who work on the Highland Springs Trails volunteer program and perform weekly trail maintenance at their own expense.
"We have about 7 volunteers that are vetted through the county. They're county volunteers that work the Highland Springs Trails volunteer program... at their own personal cost and expense, they're out there every single week, maintaining these trails," the chair said.
The chair said the county lacks staff capacity to maintain the trails alone and noted the trails' importance for users and their economic benefit in attracting visitors. The board did not record a formal change to trail maintenance policy at this meeting; the item was recognition and thanks for volunteer efforts.
