COUNCIL ON

In 1995, the Delaware General Assembly established the Council on Greenways and Trails to foster a cooperative effort to preserve, protect and link our green open spaces.

The Council acts in an advisory capacity to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and encourages local communities, counties, and state agencies to create greenway links to serve environmental and recreational needs of Delaware citizens. Applications for the greenway & trail grants from the Delaware Land and Water Conservation Trust Fund are reviewed and approved by this Council.

In order to meet its objectives, the Council works closely with public and private organizations throughout the State. The Council works to incorporate greenway projects into a comprehensive state greenway network, and acts as a resource for all organizations who wish to enhance their neighborhoods by linking open spaces.

Anyone interested in attending Council meetings can call the Division of Parks and Recreation at (302) 739-9235 for more information.
