Hi all,

Our next TAC Meeting is next Monday at 7pm. Join me at the Strawberry Hill Park Administration Building on March 14th. We will go over our impressive work party list as well as updates on the transfer of the State Parks. I also want to go over the latest version of the Trails Management Plan. Yes I’m bringing it back. I submitted a session proposal for the April WRPA conference and they accepted it so I will be presenting our Trails program next month at the conference and I want to get the plan finished, we are very close.

I have attached the plan so please give it a look through and we can discuss it at the meeting. This is not the vision plan that has been being discussed, that will be coming soon. We’ll discuss the vision plan and how it will be developed as well at this meeting.

If you have any agenda items send them my way for consideration.

Thanks,
Dan Hamlin

Hi all,

Hope your Holiday season went well. We are back at it in the New Year. We look forward to you joining the members of the Trails Advisory Committee on Saturday Jan 22 from 10am to 2pm at Gazzam Lake Preserve. We will be working on cleaning up the “mucky” spots by removing organic material and filling with gravel or soil to raise those portions of the trail where needed. Meet us at the Deerpath entry off of Baker Hill Rd. If you arrive after 10 am just walk up the main trail and you should find us. I predict we will not make it past the first trail intersection on the 22nd so we should be easy to find. There will be maps posted of the work site.

As always, dress appropriately for the work and the weather, bring you favorite tool and prepare for fun.

Hi all,

The TAC meeting is still on for Monday Dec 13th, 7pm, but the location is the Strawberry Hill Center. You drive past the Administration building and take the first left then proceed past the tennis court into the parking area of the Center. The building is just South of the playground.

Thanks,

Dan

I wanted to send out a note that the TAC meetings are now going to be held on the Second Monday of each month. We voted at the last meeting to move the date in an attempt to fit the meetings into more members schedules.

So the next meeting is to be held at the Strawberry Hill Administration building, 7pm, Monday December 13th. Anyone can attend.

For questions or comments call Dan at 842-3373.

Thanks,

Dan
