The Missouri Trails Advisory Board provides guidance to the department regarding its Recreational Trails Program. The board assists in developing grant selection criteria, reviewing grant applications and making grant funding recommendations. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Missouri State Parks assists the board in its duties.
Board Meetings
The board meets at least once a year. The public is welcome to attend these meetings, which may be in person, by conference call or through Webex. The department cannot guarantee the quality of the Webex or conference call options. The department attempts to correct any technical difficulties as they arise, but the meeting will not be subject to change or repeat due to any technical difficulties.
If you would like to address the board on any agenda item, you will need to notify the department before the meeting. You can do this by emailing the department's Grants Management Staff at mspgrants@dnr.mo.gov if attending by Webex or conference call. If attending in person, you can complete a Speaker Request form that will be available at the registration table at the meeting.

Board Structure
Although the federal law does not require a specific number, Missouri's Trails Advisory Board is made up of nine members appointed by the Department of Natural Resources. Members must represent the various types of motorized and nonmotorized recreational trail uses in Missouri (e.g., hiking, bicycling, all-terrain vehicle, off-road motorcycling, equestrian).
Members serve three-year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms. If you are interested in serving on this board, contact Missouri State Parks at moparks@dnr.mo.gov.
