Attention Hikers, Bikers, and Equestrians

WHY:

The DCNR, State Forest, State Park, National Forest and PA Game Commission agencies have had budget cuts and many of them have contacted the Pennsylvania Equine Council requesting assistance to help identify and maintain non-motorized shared-use trails. The agencies are reluctant to accept volunteers who have not had training. Without our assistance, trails and access will be severely restricted if not eliminated.

All outdoor enthusiasts (particularly hikers, bikers and equestrians) who are concerned about their future recreational access to public lands.
