Florida Greenways and Trails Council

The Florida Greenways and Trails Council (FGTC) was established pursuant to 260.0142, Florida Statutes. Among its duties, the council serves to advise the Florida Department of Environmental Protection on greenway and trail related issues, promote intergovernmental cooperation and private partnerships for developing the greenways and trails system, recommend priorities for critical links in the system, and provide funding recommendations for developing and managing the system. Interested in joining the Council? Contact Anna Hopkins for information on how to apply for a vacant position through the Governor's Office, Senate President's Office, or House Speaker's Office.

The council typically meets 3-4 times a year at various locations throughout the state. All Council meetings are open to the public.
