Mentoring communities to connect

to each other with greenways and trails

Since 2007, MillionMile Greenway provides micro-grants and in-kind services to mentor communities
and grass roots groups to plan and build greenways and trails.

We’re all about sharing best practices. Every trail begins with big dreams – often challenged by similar issues across all communities.

As we learn from each other, share our set-backs and successes, we overcome the challenges.

It’s well worth the work since high quality trails provide such powerful benefits:

More choices for exercise
Clean transportation alternatives to driving
Greater revenues to nearby cities, schools and businesses
Higher property values
And getting people of all ages out in nature to relax and recharge
