GORHAM â New Trails Bureau Chief Craig Rennie of the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources met on Monday evening with select board members Chairman Mike Waddell and Adam White as well as Town Manager Denise Vallee. Vice Chair Judy LeBlanc had said she would not be present.
Rennie was accompanied by District I supervisor Clint Savage of Gorham, who acted as interim chief for seven months after former chief Chris Gamache resigned. Rennie took up his new duties on May 21, after heâd left his post at the Department of Environmental Services Wetlands Bureau.
He met with Waddell earlier that day to discuss how very responsive ATV enthusiasts have been to the new riding routine. As hoped, ATVers have been parking above the black trestle on Route 16 and have not been loading and unloading them on the state-owned parking lot on Route 2.
CONCORD â Craig Rennie has been appointed chief supervisor for the N.H. Bureau of Trails.
N.H. Commissioner of Natural and Cultural Resources Sarah Stewart announced that Rennie will take over the position formerly held by Chris Gamache, who retired last fall.
The Trails Bureau chief supervisor is responsible for management of the bureauâs 1,000 miles of wheeled off-highway recreational vehicle trails, over 300 miles of state-owned rail-trails, and 7,422 miles of snowmobile trails. The chief supervisor also supports the multiuse trail system in the state for hiking, cycling, equestrian and sled dogs.
âNew Hampshireâs trail systems attract motorized and non-motorized enthusiasts each year, providing abundant opportunity to explore our great outdoors,â said Stewart. âManaging our trail network and supporting local trail user clubs is an important contributor to our tourism industry and to the high quality of life Granite Staters enjoy.â
