While the Master Plan for New Glarus Woods won't be officially approved until this fall, we have no reason to expect that it won't be approved as written, and the draft includes mountain bike trails! The Friends of New Glarus Woods State Park are not wasting any time; they've applied for and received a $20,000 Knowles-Nelson Stewardship matching grant to develop those trails, and are hard at work raising their portion of the match so that we can hit the ground running when the Master Plan is approved. If you or someone you know is a trail runner, let them know about the
New Glarus Woods Trail Run happening August 14; it will be a fun day in a great park, and all proceeds go toward that trail funding.
