FALL NEWSLETTER 2018 Photo: Ben Woodworth FALL NEWSLETTER 2018 FALL NEWSLETTER 2018 Photo: Ben Woodworth FALL NEWSLETTER 2018 Letter from the Executive Director This year, we celebrate trails dreamt of over 20 years ago that are finally moving forward. What do we dream for tomorrow? Well, it is both years in the making and still a spark in someone’s eye. Kingsley. Kalkaska. Elk Rapids. Charlevoix. Cadillac and Frankfort. Maybe one day even Northport. We believe the connections made over the next 20 years will support our vision of happy, active people enjoying a world-class trail system allowing visitors and residents to access, enjoy, celebrate, and support our region’s abundant natural and cultural resources. In the next 20 years, we see strong and healthy economies and communities because of investments in non-motorized networks. Like our first 20 years, we believe the passionate spirit and support of donors, volunteers and partners committed to creating and celebrating happy, healthy, connected communities will propel us into our next 20 years, and we hope you’ll join us on that journey.

I’d like to thank you for this recognition of my trail work, but I also would like to recognize some other individuals whose contributions were key to the creation of the Leelanau Trail and TART Trails. First and foremost is my wife, Kathy, for her volunteer trail work and for picking up the slack at home for the past 24 years while I attended the hundreds of meetings necessary for the purchase, creation, building, and maintenance of the trail. I’d like to thank Frank Noverr, who Photo: Gary Howe 4 traversetrails.org Introducing the Invasive Species Task Force This past June, TART Trails’ staff and volunteers attended a Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network training and subsequently formed a new segment of Volunteer Ambassadors, the Invasive Species Task Force. These folks have been hard at work all summer long, meeting regularly on Tuesday mornings to identify and remove invasive plants found along the Leelanau Trail. Working within a tiered approach, they have tackled Oriental bittersweet, wild parsnip, Phragmites and other invasives, helping preserve the long-term health and beauty of the trail. “Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to create, build, and maintain a trail.” Photo: Gary Howe traversetrails.org 5 FALL NEWSLETTER 2018 early development, at a time when the area was regarded as merely an industrial zone.

  • 2014 April River Ride Publisher Version
    Friends of the Flint River Trail 5LYHU5LGH “Riding together in Flint and Genesee County” 2014 Who are The Friends of the Flint River Trail? For 16 years, the Friends of the Flint River Trail have led regular Sunday bicycle rides on the trail, have advocated for trail expansion, have volunteered hours of service on the trail, and have promoted safe and active bicycling. We are an active chapter of the Flint River Watershed Coalition (FRWC). Our Sunday rides are family friendly, leisurely rides of about 10-12 miles in length. Our favorite destinations along the trail are Stepping Stones Falls and Blue Bell Beach – both in the Genesee County Parks system. Our rides are scheduled every week from the first Sunday in May through the last Sunday in October. The rides start at 2:00 from the old Flint Farmers’ Market at the intersection of Boulevard Drive and Robert T. Longway Boulevard. In recent years, we have averaged 35-40 riders every Sunday, each coming from about 30 different zip codes. We have introduced many riders to the trail, to the river, and to beautiful sites along the trail. The riders form a positive impression of the Flint River – thus promoting the mission of the FRWC. Last year volunteers from the FFRT donated over 300 volunteer hours cleaning, mowing, trimming branches and removing fallen trees from along the trail. We were instrumental in advocating for the Kearsley Park Trail, the paving of the trail between Dort Highway and Carpenter Road, and the west extension from downtown to Ballenger Highway at McLaren Hospital.

    FALL NEWSLETTER 2019 The Famous Caboose got a Shiny New Yellow Coat of Paint this Year! FALL NEWSLETTER 2019 Letter from the Executive Director One of my favorite things about being on the trails is watching all the different ways they are used. You see families walking together or folks chatting as they run with friends. Dogs might be taking their owners on strolls or cyclists cruise by with saddle bags full of groceries. I love to watch kids coast down hills ahead of their parents, and I always want to stop and help out the tourists stopping to look at maps along the way. You see skateboarders, baby-strollers, and of course skiers training when the trails are covered in snow. The best trails are built with that diversity in mind. The best trails are developed with government agencies, potential trail neighbors, advocates of all sorts, private businesses, and funders sitting at the table. Building trails is collaboration at its best — diverse groups of people working together on a shared goal. And that kind of collaboration is how TART Trails approaches every project. We believe the best trails come from working together with diverse About Julie Clark groups interested in the same goals – bustling Julie heads up the day-to- trails filled with lots of smiles, helping people day administration, trail get to where they want to go, and supporting planning and development, maintenance, and fundraising healthy and robust environments, communities, efforts for TART.
