Overland Emigrant Trail Seminar
The DSAA Invites you to attend a special Community Educational Seminar focused on the feasibility of establishing the route and building a trail along the Overland Emigrant Trail from Roller Pass to Rainbow.
The panelists will be Dave Hollecker from the Oregon-California Trail Association (OCTA), Carrie Smith who is an archaeologist with the Forest Service in Truckee, John Svahn from the Truckee-Donner Land Trust who has been instrumental in getting the Donner Rim Trail designed and built, and Vance Kimbrell from the Placer County Parks Department who will be taking the lead in securing the mitigation funds. Peter Van Zant will moderate.
Saturday, March 14
10AM to Noon
Sugar Bowl Academy, 19195 Donner Pass Road
(Top of Donner Summit on Old Highway 40)
As background material, please see the enclosed presentation from Vance Kimbrell previously presented to the Placer County Parks Commission. The Parks Commission recently voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors approve $150,000 in funding for the initial planing and surveys for the Overland Emigrant Trail project. As the enclosed presentation describes, there will be many opportunities for community and regional input into this project, including a Trail Advisory board.
Please come learn and ask questions about this exciting Donner Summit community project!
