National Park Service to hold public meetings on the John Smith National Historic Trail

This October, the National Park Service is presenting alternative concepts for the future of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. These concepts will describe management objectives, policies, and actions that will guide the development of the trail over the next 15-20 years. How do you think the trail should be developed? Please join us for a series of eight public workshops to be held around the Bay in mid-October. NPS staff will be on hand to take your comments and suggestions. Your involvement is essential to the success of this nationally significant trail.

For more information, visit the new website for the trail at http://www.smithtrail.net/. Information is also available at www.nps.gov/cajo.
