Public participation is essential for the success of the Tioga Trailheads Project. 

An environmental assessment (EA) is currently underway. Public scoping is open from November 6 through December 12, 2008. Comments with issues, ideas, and suggestions for the Tioga Trailheads Project may be submitted during this period.

The public will have a second formal comment period when the environmental assessment is ready for review (anticipated winter 2009/2010). Although there will be two formal opportunities to comment on this plan, it is important to remember that comments are welcome at any time during the planning process.
