Millions of people take to state trails each year to hike, bike, snowshoe and cross-country ski. Now, the DNR is looking for one of those devotees to fill an opening on the Nonmotorized Advisory Workgroup. It’s a great opportunity to help advise and make recommendations about development, management, stewardship, funding and planning for over 4,600 miles of state?managed, natural-surface, nonmotorized trails.
“We’re incredibly proud of our reputation as the nation’s Trails State, and this collection of quality trails is a big part of what draws residents and visitors outdoors every year and all four seasons,” said Tim Novak, DNR state trails coordinator. “For this vacancy, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about natural-surface trails and who will bring energy, ideas and perspective to the group.”
The workgroup — 11 volunteers who serve four-year terms — collaborates closely with the Michigan Trails Advisory Council and meets quarterly at locations throughout the state. Travel expenses to and from meetings are eligible for reimbursement.
