Missouri State Parks is accepting nominations for three representatives to serve three-year terms on the Missouri Trails Advisory Board.
The terms run from Oct. 1, 2026, through Oct. 31, 2029. Members must be Missouri residents and must participate in the user group they represent. Open positions represent accessible trail users, bicycle trail users and mountain bike trail users.
