Help us create a countywide trail system

_________________________________________________________________________________

To get right to the point, ForeverGreen Trails – note the name change -- is seeking your financial support. We’ve got an exciting new opportunity to take trail advocacy in Pierce County to a new level. We need your help.

        New Partners:

We are joining with like-minded individuals and groups to form an Active Transportation Community of Interest (COI )as part of the Russell Family Foundation’s 10-year, $10 million Puyallup River Watershed Initiative. 

        What would this mean for our trails?

For the first time we could have a true county-wide coalition of advocates working for an active transportation network stretching from Mount Rainier to Puget Sound.  We could lay groundwork for a sustained effort to educate the public and elected officials about the benefits of an integrated system of trails, bike lanes and local pathways – and the need to fund it.

        Let's stop talking about a trail network. 

We want to get it built. We must work together.  Foundation staff has helped us develop the grant proposal. A formal decision is due this summer. If it’s a “go”  the COI will hire a community organizer/planner to implement a first-year work plan. Depending on yearly progress, the COI could be funded annually for up to 10 years.

        Our goal is $6,000.

Every dollar you donate will be matched up to $3,000. We will put your donation to work supporting our partners and continuing our local advocacy efforts, including our annual trail conference.

        Please make your donation on line. It’s for a great cause.
