Business Memberships to Friends
Businesses who support our trails are crucial to our success – and in return, our trails drive millions of dollars in economic activity per year in our communities.
We call it the Trail Business Community: a group of regional businesses that can be trailside, or farther afield, but that all want to call attention to their support of the trails – AND receive business benefits! It’s a way to strengthen our relationships with community and find ways to make that relationship work to benefit us all.
On-Trail Business Annual Membership
This is for medium to small businesses near or adjacent to the trail.
- $500 – BASIC. Membership gets you the quarterly Trail Business Community newsletter; a social media highlight; and a Small Business Saturday media post, as well as a virtual and real window insignia to use at your business that lets everyone know you are a Three Rivers Heritage Trail and Water Trail Supporter! We will also add you to our Supporting Business Directory online and includes a Friends membership for 2 staff members.
- $750 – ENHANCED. All of the above, but includes a Friends membership for up to 5 of your staff and the opportunity to collaborate with our communications staff on a Trail Business Highlight to be published in our business (quarterly) and regular (monthly) newsletters.

We can customize your Business Membership to add more or different benefits
Want to hold a volunteer Employee Trail Care work day on our trail? We can add that to your membership or create an event for you separately. Contact Alex for more info.
Want more staff member Friends memberships with your business membership? We’re happy to add on to the above – just let Kate know how many of your staff you’d like to offer this benefit.
Are you bigger business or corporation but also want a way to support our trails as part of the Trail Community?
We have a lot of ways for you to show your support of trails! While we don’t have memberships for large organizations at this time, we have tons of opportunities to sponsor our programming and even parts of the trail; to sponsor or support our upcoming fundraiser, Building Bridges, Building Trails; to hold a half or full-day Employee Trail Care event for your staff; or to support us through in-kind donation of goods and services.
