Seeking Public Comments for Wickenburg Trails & Vulture Mountain Recreation Plans

(WICKENBURG)—To improve recreational opportunities and facilities in the greater Wickenburg area, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department are working together on master plans.  The agencies invite interested persons to a public meeting from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, February 4, 2010, at the Wickenburg Community Center. The Wickenburg Community Center is located at 160 North Valentine Street.

Topics include descriptions of the federal agency’s Wickenburg Community Master Trails Plan and the joint project between the federal and county governments for recreation in the Vulture Mountain area.  The agencies are soliciting community feedback that will assist with on-going planning. 

Currently, the agencies are working in tandem on the projects to identify and develop a pedestrian network, create a management plan for natural areas and identify recreational facilities.  The primary goals for the two projects are to ensure the management of natural and cultural resources and to make sure that existing and future trails are well connected to the Town’s trail system.

In addition to commenting at the public meeting, comments are also accepted on line at: http://www.sec-landmgt.com/2010wickenburg.htm.
