Price, Utah— The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office will host a public meeting to explore recreational opportunities associated with the Old Spanish National Historic Trail in Emery County.  The BLM partnered with Emery County to develop an Activity Trail Plan to identify recreational opportunities around the national historic trail, which is important to the region’s history and pioneer legacy.  The plan may include trailheads, parking areas, interpretive and educational displays, marked tour routes, and potentially dispersed camp sites.
 
The meeting will be held Tuesday, July 19th, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum, 1765 East Main in Green River, Utah.
 
Suggestions and ideas may also be provided in writing or by email to the addresses provided below.  Suggestions should be received by August 19, 2016.
