Letter from the Executive Director One of my favorite things about being on the 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 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.

Each stringer that spanned the river weighed 100 pounds and measured 24 feet in length. Carrying those long stringers down to the bridge site with all the bends in the trail was interesting!
