King County is hosting a second opportunity for residents to share their views on a draft trail stewardship proposal for 600 acres of public forestland east of Maple Valley on July 23.

The meeting will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Lake Wilderness Lodge, located at 22500 Southeast 248th Street in Maple Valley.

At the meeting county staff will discuss how the trail proposal will be included in the recently completed Danville-Georgetown Open Space Forest Stewardship Plan. Staff will also review and discuss proposals on long-term trail improvements and usage by hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers at Danville-Georgetown Open Space and at the nearby Henry’s Ridge Open Space.
