The Caroline County Commissioners convened on April 22, 2025, to discuss various community initiatives, with a significant focus on promoting outdoor activities and environmental sustainability. The meeting began with a proclamation for "Celebrate Trails Day," scheduled for April 26, 2025. This event aims to highlight the importance of trails in the community and encourage residents to engage with local outdoor spaces.

A representative from the Eastern Shore Trails Network presented the proclamation, emphasizing the value of existing trails and the vision for expanding the trail network throughout the region. The representative noted that trails not only provide access to nature but also promote active transportation, reduce traffic emissions, and offer economic benefits to local communities.

The proclamation recognized the efforts of Caroline County and its municipalities in supporting trail systems and the need for further development to connect parks, schools, and residential areas. It highlighted that the Eastern Shore has fewer off-road trails compared to other regions, which limits recreational opportunities for both residents and visitors.

The commissioners expressed their support for the initiative, with discussions surrounding the upcoming "Celebrate Trails" event at Tuckahoe State Park, which will showcase existing trails and future expansion plans. The meeting concluded with a unanimous agreement to proclaim April 26 as "Celebrate Trails Day," encouraging all residents to participate in outdoor activities and enjoy the trails available in Caroline County.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to enhancing outdoor recreational opportunities and fostering community engagement through the development of a comprehensive trail network.
