The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced that it continues to seek nominations of passionate outdoor recreation enthusiasts to serve on the Indiana Trails Advisory Board to help provide recommendations on trail issues throughout the state.
The department stated that openings for representatives fall into trail-user groups of all-terrain vehicle users, equestrians, four-wheel-drive users, pedestrians and snowmobile users. Nominees are encouraged to be involved with a regional or statewide organization, club or association related to the trail-user group they would represent. Selected board members are expected to serve a three-year term beginning March 2025, and they will attend quarterly meetings at varying locations around the state on the first Thursday of March, June, September and December at 3 p.m. with locations to be presented later.
In addition to the meetings, members are encouraged to learn and participate in other outdoor recreational activities that are planned by the board to explore newly-opened trails or facilities and hear presentations from Parks Departments and municipalities on their outdoor recreation initiatives throughout the state.
The 15-member board stands as an essential aspect of the state’s trail system and acts as an advisory board to the department to provide recommendations on trail issues throughout the state.
Nominations will be accepted from Dec. 1 through Dec. 30. For more information on the nomination process, visit dnr.IN.gov.
