Friends of chautauqua county greenways to hold second public meeting

PANAMA, NY - In cooperation with the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth (CCPEG), the Friends of Chautauqua County Greenways (FCCG) will hold its second public informational meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. at Panama Rocks Scenic Park in Panama, NY.

This meeting will provide the public with updates on trail and waterway development and maintenance projects, along with conservation efforts throughout Chautauqua County. 

“The Friends Group has accomplished a great deal since our last meeting on May 30th in Mayville,” says Jacob Bodway, Trail Coordinator for CCPEG. “The October meeting will allow time for the various trail-user groups to present on current and upcoming trail projects, grant requests, and long-range goals.  The numerous presenters will provide audience members with a great deal of information, and we want to share some of the positive work that we have accomplished for trail-users of all ages and abilities. It is a great time to be an outdoor enthusiast in Chautauqua County!”

For those who are interested in exploring the hiking trail at Panama Rocks, there will be a group hike at 5:00 pm, about an hour prior to the FCCG meeting.  It will be an excellent opportunity to take in the fall colors and to experience the majesty of Panama Rocks Scenic Park.
