The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is inviting the public to weigh in on proposed improvements to the trail system at Harriet Hollister Spencer State Recreation Area in Livingston County.
A virtual public information meeting will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. on July 22, to discuss planned changes to the recreation area’s nearly 20 miles of multiuse trails.
During the meeting, State Parks staff will outline proposed improvements intended to better support park management, environmental stewardship, and recreational opportunities. A question-and-answer session and opportunity for public comment will follow the presentation.
Harriet Hollister Spencer State Recreation Area, located in the town of Springwater, encompasses 1,596 acres and was established in 1962 through a charitable land donation. Today, it is a popular destination for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and other outdoor recreation.
The meeting is open to the public, but advance registration is required. Those interested can register online or email [email protected] by 5 p.m. on July 21.
State Parks said accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. Individuals needing communication assistance are encouraged to contact the agency at least 14 days before the meeting.
The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation manages more than 250 state parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, and boat launches across New York, serving more than 86 million visitors each year.
