NYS DEC is releasing a survey to users of the West Almond Trail System including Turnpike State Forest, Palmers Pond State Forest and Phillips Creek State Forest. The NYS DEC is working with partners of the newly formed Allegany County Trails and Outdoor Recreation Committee to get the word out about this survey. They would like to notify the public that our West Almond Trail System survey is up and running!
The direct link is: https://www.surveymonkey.
We will also put some information at the kiosks in the Forest System as well but the preferred method to complete the survey is online.
For those that are unfamiliar with the West Almond State Forest Trail system, it provides a multitude of types of access for hiking, equestrian use, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, picnics, fishing, hunting and primitive camping on over 11,000 acres in the Towns of West Almond, Ward, Alfred and Almond. Here are the three state forest websites you can go to for it (link at the top of the page):
