Eden Valley Is Proud To Be A Part
Of The County Master Trails Program!
Living in a rural community without sidewalks, many residents here enjoy outdoor and equestrian activities.
We greatly appreciate the value of connecting the County's multi-use trail system. The implementation of a county-wide
program helps to establish and preserve a linking trail system before this amenity is rendered impossible by future development.
A "Policy for Pathways" was written and submitted to the County in order to help protect our rural environment and lifestyle
as future development comes in. The Policy includes a map of proposed and existing trails (pictured here), and how they should
look and be maintained. This has been accepted by the County Board of Supervisors in the County Master Trails Program.
It is important to note that some of these PROPOSED trails are currently on Private Property. Should these parcels
ever be "developed", the trail connection would be required.
Our Neighborhood Trails Committee held a meeting
on Feb 12, 2005. Our guest speaker, Maryanne Vancio, the Country Trails Coordinator, helped us define our direction
for this year!
There's lot of work to do and volunteers are needed! You
can be a block captain, help clear trails, help contact neighbors, and just
have fun working together as a community. Anyone interested please contact Janean Huston at EdenValleyNews@aol.com, or 760-738-8822.

Background:
A few years ago, a group of neighbors met to form a Neighborhood Multi-Use Trails Committee.
The purpose of the committee was to begin the process of establishing an organized, well maintained, multiuse trail system
in the Eden Valley area; in order to promote a more friendly, cohesive, safe, and rural community environment. Using
the County Trails Map, this committee hopes to keep the established trials in Eden Valley linking to Harmony Grove, the
Elfin Forest Preserve, as well as Jack's Pond in San Marcos.
Block captains were assigned who then passed out interest forms to their neighbors. There was a lot of positive
response, and many volunteers were added. Since that time the volunteers have cleared brush and added wood chips to a number
of trails and pathways in our valley. The volunteers also receive updates by E-mail of news affecting the trails in our area.
We always welcome new volunteers!
