DCR is working on a set of maps for a "Trails Visioning" session at this year's Governor's Conference on Greenways and Trails, held in Richmond in early October. We are planning to use the data Tech has developed, along with other critical GIS layers, to plan linkages between existing trail systems within the statewide trails network. Some of the other layers needed, as identified by our mapping subcommittee, are campgrounds or other lodging, utility lines (gas, electric, and water lines--particularly segments that may be owned in fee simple) and any shapefiles that exist for outdoor adventure destinations (public or private areas for caving, rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, bicycling, off-road cycling, ATV-riding, canoeing, kayaking) or the outfitters that support these industries. It would also be helpful to have information on restaurants or other food-service vendors, and any restroom facilities that would be available for public use. I have attached the goals of the statewide trail planning initiative, in case there is other data out there that we should consider during the mapping exercise. Anyone on this listserv who knows how to acquire any of the above-mentioned data, please respond to jennifer.wampler@dcr.virginia.gov Jennifer Wampler Trails Coordinator Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Planning and Recreation Resources Division 203 Governor Street, Suite 326 Richmond, VA 23219 jennifer.wampler@dcr.virginia.gov 804.786.9240 Fax: 804-371-7899 [demime 0.99c.4 removed an attachment of type application/msword which had a name of Trail Planning Goals Rev7-10-08.doc] BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 X-GWTYPE:USER FN:Jennifer Wampler TEL;WORK:804/786-9240 ORG:;Division of Planning & Recreation Resources TEL;PREF;FAX:804/371-7899 EMAIL;WORK;PREF;NGW:Jennifer.Wampler@dcr.virginia.gov N:Wampler;Jennifer TITLE:Environmental Program Planner END:VCARD
