LIGTC Request for a New License with Suffolk County Parks Stalls - Manorville, NY
Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference (LIGTC) opened Trail Center in 1995. Twenty years later, it closed due to lack of resources. Brookhaven Bicycle (BB) under agreement recently abandoned it. LIGTC in a stronger position has requested a new license agreement with SC Parks.
The LIGTC was founded with the purpose of getting LI folks out on hiking trails: the first being the Greenbelt Trail, followed by the Nassau Suffolk Greenbelt Trial, the Brookhaven Trail, the Pine Barrens Trail, the Paumanok Path, the Ray Corwin trail, and many other connector trails. These efforts include coordinating with the varied agencies and volunteers to maintain these trails. They have an office in Blydenburg County Park, further west. The Trail Center in Manorville historically focused in on the Pine Barrens, as pictured in the mural below.
