Do you enjoy our local greenspaces and want to see more of them, or have ideas for how more people can access and enjoy them? The California Natural Resources Agency is asking for public input, and this is a chance to make your voice count.

The California Trails Survey will guide state trail funding for years, including the upcoming Prop 4 Trails grant. By completing the survey by Thursday, April 30, you can help direct more resources toward urban trails and greenways, especially here in the LA basin, where demand and need are high.

What to highlight in your comments

The Coalition for Clean Air suggests focusing on:

• Where you’d like to see more trails or greenways
• How to improve equitable access
• Safety improvements that would make trails more usable
• The need for increased funding
• What’s already working well and should be expanded

Let yourself imagine the best version of our urban, wild interfaces, then share that vision.
