Cabrillo National Monument to Host Open House for Discussing New and Existing Trail Proposals

San Diego CA:   Cabrillo National Monument Superintendent Andrea Compton invites the public to attend an open house meeting to solicit input on the park’s proposed Trails Management Plan.  Cabrillo National Monument staff will be hosting two open houses for the public on Tuesday March 21^st2017.  The purpose of these open houses is to collect public feedback to aid in the development of Cabrillo’s proposed Trails Management Plan.  No formal program is scheduled but those interested in attending may stop by to learn and inquire about the plan.

Cabrillo National Monument would like your feedback on the proposed Trail Management Plan, such as: What types of opportunities should be included in the trail system?  What kinds of experiences are you looking while hiking on Cabrillo’s trails? What do you think of the proposed changes in trails at Cabrillo National Monument?

Cabrillo National Monument contains an existing network of roads and recreation trails.
