This past year has been tough for everyone in Michigan. But in the midst of all the bad news, here are some powerfully positive things to consider:

  • Because of our collective work, Michigan has more than 2,000 miles of multi-use trails.
  • These trails impact the health, prosperity and quality of life in unimaginable ways.
  • These trails are an amazing asset as we move forward to build a better Michigan.
  • We are on the brink a connected trail system that can have an even more profound impact on our state.

Please click here and read on. Whether you decide to contribute or not, I want to share a few stories that will change the way you look at trails – forever.
