We were preparing to mail the second issue of our print newsletter, “Between Friends,” this month; however, to mitigate transmission of Covid-19, we have decided on a virtual release.
Our riverfront trails give us an opportunity to find a peaceful moment and remind us of nature’s own resiliency. Though our staff has transitioned to working from home, we continue to monitor the Trails and plan for more ways to connect you to the outdoors.
You can learn more about our work every day by connecting with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We hope you’ll join us and follow our communications as we move forward.
Thank you for being a friend!
