Trail Education and Restoration:

To reduce this scourge on local trails, the DTC coordinates with public agencies, local trail groups and private land owners to bring volunteers and resources to trails requiring short-cut mitigation.

Closures and restrictions subject to decisions made through the Trails Plan and requiring changes to local municipal codes where trails or trail segments are under the jurisdiction of Permittees.

Current prohibitions, restrictions, and/or allowances of use in accordance with municipal codes or
