LEE COUNTY - The Mississippi and Des Moines Rivers SET Confluence Region of Lee County, Iowa, Clark County, Missouri and Hancock County, Illinois will host the second round of county trails and routes planning on November 5thand 6th. There will be four 90-minute public planning sessions at the following locations:

Brian Leaders, a landscape architect with the National Park Service (NPS) has extensive experience facilitating community trails and routes planning sessions throughout the Midwest. The local planning sessions are supported through a technical assistance grant and awarded through the NPS Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program. The RTCA program supports community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects across the nation. The SET Confluence steering committee submitted this grant request in accordance with goals in the regional plan.

The planning sessions will begin with a presentation on the community and economic benefits of trails development and end with an active mapping session identifying possible trails, connections, water access points and additional amenities.

For further information on the planningsessions, please contact Shelley Oltmans atshelleyo@iastate.eduor 319-524-5055.
