Hood River County Forest Manager Doug Thiesies is looking at options to maintain the County’s recreational trails program in the midst of the County’s budget woes. The department is looking at losing its recreational trails’ coordinator position at the end of the year unless some way of providing more funding is found. The County has about 100 miles worth of trails on its forestlands, and Thiesies says the coordinator works with the recreational trails committee to ensure the interests of all are accommodated. Thiesies says the options being considered for new funding include business sponsors for the program.
