Greetings River’s Edge Trail Supporters!
2023 has been a busy year for River’s Edge Trail! From large scale construction projects to stabilize the trail, to the installation of new original artworks, this year brings enhancements to many parts of the trail. In October, we welcomed the new Trails Coordinator, Olivia Hollis to the team. Olivia joins Great Falls Parks and Rec after working with the Conservation Corps for several years out of Missoula. Please join us in making Olivia feel welcome in Great Falls!
Much of our work in 2023 has been behind the scenes. We are busy making plans and seeking funding to repair and replace significant portions of the oldest segments of trail asphalt. Other efforts include mitigation of riverbank erosion, safety improvements and stewarding the long process of implementing the River Drive South trail realignment project. Over the next several years, we expect to move these projects forward, ensuring that the trail remains the crown jewel of our recreational community.
You rely on River’s Edge Trail Foundation to identify funding opportunities and to partner with each of the agencies that manage sections of the trail. We rely on you to help us fund the many grants required to keep our trail in top shape.
Thank you for your support of River’s Edge Trail. We couldn’t do it without you!
