Document Description
The Arnold Rim Trail system extends approximately 28 miles and connects the communities of Arnold, Avery, and Hathaway Pines. It contains curated trail opportunities for hikers, cyclists and equestrians. The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) is considering a grant to the Arnold Rim Trail Association to support the Arnold Avery Trail Reconciliation, Wayfinding and Outdoor Literacy Project. Because SNC is a state agency, CEQA review must be completed to issue the grant. The IS/proposed MND has been prepared to support a decision by SNC of whether or not to provide funding to support the proposed project.
