Hello NHS!

A quick update on trails planning and construction in Prince William
County. Last year, the County passed a new Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan defining goals for preserving open space and
establishing recreational corridors with trails connecting parks and
communities. As a part of this plan, a County appointed Trails
Council is being established in the near future to advise on
priorities, connectivity, construction, and other aspects of these
trails.

The Council will be made up of two year appointees. The intent of
the Park Authority Board and Supervisors is to have trail users from
the different districts, and disciplines make up the sixteen council
members. I would ask that if serving as a Council member would be of
interest to you, and you would have the time, and you reside in
Prince William County, please contact your local Supervisor or Park
Authority Board member and let them know of your interest. It would
be good to have an equestrian presence on this advisory council for
future planning.

If you would like to know more about the Council; the new Parks, Open
Space, and Trails Chapter; or on how to contact your supervisor or
Park Authority Board Member, please let me know. I am happy to
provide the information.

Please also pass this information to other equestrians you know who
reside in Prince William County and may have an interest in serving
as a Council member, even if not members of NHS. It is a great
opportunity.

Happy Riding,
Scott Helberg
