Press Release from Virginia Horse  Council

Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference to be held in Roanoke,
Virginia on August 3-5, 2006.



SETC was formed to address issues that concern equestrians and land
managers pertaining to the use of trails.  Land-use planning, trail
sharing, environmental protection, trail design, education, and the
preservation of the use of horses on our American landscapes are topics
that will be discussed at the Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference.
This year's theme of "Working Together for Trails in a Changing
Environment - Collaborative Adaptive Management of Trail Systems," will
focus on the importance of collaboration between trail users, managers,
and scientists in all phases of trail planning, construction,
maintenance, and data gathering, including deciding  how partnerships
can be developed to get it done.



The purpose of SETC is to bring together people who are concerned about
the future of the natural and cultural heritage of the trail experience
from the back of a horse.  SETC strives to foster equestrian
self-evaluation, learning, and the development of a conservation force
that will influence land-use policies at local, state, regional, and
national levels. The conference offers a forum for meaningful
communication between natural resource management agencies and trail
equestrians. In this forum, everyone will learn from everyone else.  The
Conference will include participants from natural resource agencies,
non-government organizations, and individuals representing themselves
and/or local saddle clubs. This mix of participants is extremely
important to the airing of a wide array of perspectives, values, and
knowledge. 



The Conference includes eleven southern states and is National in scope.
This much-needed conference was started in Clemson, S.C. and is now
rotating through each of the Southern States with each state taking a
turn at hosting it.  Next year's conference is already being planned and
will be held in Tennessee.



The conference fee is $125.00 if you register early and late
registration will be $150.00.  The registration process will begin in
late February.  The conference is being hosted by The Virginia Horse
Council with support from the Virginia Department of Conservation and
Recreation, the Virginia Horse Industry Board, and the Federal Highway
Administration.
