18 <br /> September 2012 Attachment 8 <br /> When will the entire Mountains-to-Sea Trail be completed? <br /> The NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail remains a work in progress. With the help of more volunteers, the pace <br /> of progress has picked up in recent years. More than 24 miles were completed in 2009. Land along some <br /> sections of the trail corridor remains privately owned, and acquisition or easements will be needed to <br /> extend the trail. The goal is a 1,000-mile trail from Clingmans Dome to Jockey's Ridge. <br /> How can I get involved? <br /> • An online survey is being developed and will be available in late August 2012 at: <br /> http://orangecountync.gov/deapr/nat cul resources/mst.asp <br /> • You can volunteer to build trail by contacting the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail at <br /> http://www.ncmst.org/or contact Rich Shaw, Land Conservation Manager with Orange County <br /> DEAPR at<rshaw @orangecountync.gov> <br /> • You can sign up for the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (FMST) e-mail newsletter to keep <br /> informed of progress and opportunities to get involved. You can also become a member of the <br /> FMST—a non-profit organization that promotes the trail, coordinates trail building activities and <br /> serves as a clearinghouse for information. <br /> 4 <br />
