2024 Colorado Recreational Trails Committee Vacancy
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is requesting applications for upcoming openings on the Colorado Recreational Trails Committee. The Committee advises the Parks and Wildlife Commission and CPW on matters pertaining to trails, their use, extent, location and funding. Members of the committee review, score, and rank grant applications and formulate funding recommendations for State Trail grant programs.
The eleven committee members are volunteers: one from each of Colorado's eight Congressional Districts, two At-Large Representatives, and one GOCO Representative. They serve four-year terms (unless filling the remainder of an unexpired term) and may be reappointed to a second, four-year term.
The following representative positions are open:
In keeping with Federal Recreational Trails
Program requirements and the Commission’s Recreational Trails Committee Policy,
the Committee shall include in its membership representation from a broad spectrum
of trail users. Committee members should be proponents of all trail recreation
activities with unbiased judgment toward both motorized and non-motorized
uses. Committee members will be chosen based on the candidate's qualifications
inclusive of overall skills, outdoor recreational interests, and leadership
qualities.

preferred candidates will have a varied trails background with experience and
knowledge to represent a wide variety of trail interests with the goal of
working cooperatively for trails and greenways throughout the state.
The positions is open until filled. Application reviews will begin on Friday, May 17, 2024
