for Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The National Park Service will hold a series of eight public workshops in October on the future management of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The Comprehensive Management Plan workshops will present alternatives for managing the trail resources, providing visitor services, and developing partnerships. Park staff and planners will ask the public to comment on their preferred concepts.
"Public involvement is key to a successful future of the trail," said John Maounis, the trail's superintendent. "Based on what we hear at these workshops, we can develop meaningful programs and concepts that will relate to everyone who visits this unique and significant resource."
The National Park Service will seek extensive public involvement to help determine the preferred alternative that will guide the development of the trail for the next 15 – 20 years. Public input from the workshops will help shape the final draft plan, which will be available for public comment in December. A final plan, which will include responses to the public comments, is expected in spring 2010.
For more information on the trail, the management alternatives, and the upcoming workshop locations and times, visit the website at www.nps.gov/cajo or www.smithtrail.net.
The national historic trail, established in 2006, retraces the 1607-1609 voyages of John Smith in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Touching upon Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, the trail's purpose is three-fold: commemorate Smith's voyages, share knowledge about the Chesapeake Indian societies and cultures, and interpret the natural history of the Bay.
Description:
The workshops will consist of a short presentation covering the comprehensive management plan process and a description of the four alternative management concepts. More information about the alternatives will then be provided at staffed stations focusing on specific trail locations. Each station will show how each alternatives will provide place-based trail experiences at that location. The public will be asked to fill out comments cards stating what they like or don't like about the alternatives. Workshops are scheduled throughout the Chesapeake Bay area during mid October. The first workshop is being held at the Watermen's Museum in Yorktown, Virginia on October 12. Other Virginia workshops will be held in Machipongo and Deltaville. Venues in Annapolis, Havre de Grace, and St. Michaels have been selected for Maryland's workshops. Additional workshops will be held in Seaford, Delaware and Washington, D.C.
