The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be hosting a series of public meetings about recreation. Throughout the month of September, DNR will hold nine workshops across the state to gather input from individuals and user groups to help create a new vision for recreation on DNR-managed forest lands, aquatic lands and natural areas.
The informal workshops will include discussion topic areas where the public can converse with DNR staff, view maps of DNR-managed lands, and offer their vision for recreation in the state. This is an important opportunity for hikers to influence the future of the recreation in Washington state.
DNR staff will compile the information gathered at these meetings and present them to the newly formed Sustainable Recreation Work Group to help in developing a long-term vision that ensures safe, sustainable and enjoyable outdoor recreation on DNR-managed land.
Come out and share where you like to hike and what kind of experience you hope to have on those trails with the agency who manages them.
