AS A RESULT OF COVID-19, TRAIL USAGE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AS CITIZENS SOUGHT SAFE, OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES. IN ADDITION, PRIVATE FUNDS WERE IMPORTANT FOR TRAIL PLANNING, ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT AS MANY PUBLIC DOLLARS WERE TEMPORARILY REDIRECTED TO COVID RELIEF EFFORTS. TRAIL USAGE REMAINS VERY HIGH AS CITIZENS CONTINUE TO SEEK OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
