LANCASTER — The Nash Stream Forest Citizens Advisory Committee has opened the door to adding a 1.2-mile Southern Connector ATV Trail to the forest on a trial basis.
After a detailed presentation by Larry Gomes of the Milan Trail Huggers ATV Club, and a robust public discussion, the committee voted last Tuesday to ask the Nash Stream Technical Team to come back with a proposal that addresses concerns about the impacts of the trail while providing for a probationary period.
