The State Trails Council (STC) provides advice and consultation to the Department of Natural Resources on the planning, acquisition, development and management of trails in Wisconsin. The council represents trail users in Wisconsin, which includes more than half of the state's residents. The council is also responsible for providing counsel in administering Federal Recreational Trails Program funds. The council serves as Wisconsin's state recreational trail advisory committee for the Recreational Trails Program, necessary for Wisconsin to participate in the program.
The council is an independent forum for finding solutions to trail problems for both motorized and nonmotorized groups and is a statewide advocate for public/private cooperation in funding and management of trail systems. Wisconsin is a national leader in creating partnerships that provide for state ownership coupled with county management of trails.
A draft agenda will be posted to the STC website prior to the meeting. Near the end of the meeting, a portion of the agenda will allow for in-person public comments.
Meeting will be held virtually.
