Celebrate the outdoors with NC Year of the Trail

Did you know 2023 has been designated the Year of the Trail in North Carolina? This statewide initiative celebrates North Carolina’s vast network of trails, greenways and blueways. Not only do trails help make our state a healthier, more accessible and fun place to live, they also strengthen the economy. The Year of the Trail provides an opportunity to showcase our state’s extensive trail systems. PBS North Carolina is excited to be a part of this celebration in partnership with the Great Trails State Coalition.

Trail Features This Year:

Throughout the year, PBS will feature 10 trail stories from across the state in episodes of NC Weekend, My Home, NC and Sci NC. Enjoy these first two features:

Let us all here in the greater Asheville /  Buncombe County area, get together to promote the trails we have, and build the trails we need. Please support Connect Buncombe, and all of our partners, in this essential effort!

Our partners at the East Coast Greenway Alliance recently announced the launch of Greenways for All.

Our partners at the East Coast Greenway Alliance recently announced the launch of Greenways for All.

 

This effort is focused on assisting communities – from Maine to Florida and beyond – in accessing funding for greenways and trails in this historic infrastructure moment.

Working collaboratively with state and local partners, the Alliance has attracted $2 billion in investment to build out more than 1,000 miles of the East Coast Greenway from Maine to Florida since its 1991 founding. Learn more and support the movement: greenwaysforall.org.

Powered by our partners at @eastcoastgreenwayalliance (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram), the Greenways for All effort will especially prioritize communities that have been underserved by a lack of safe access to walking and bicycling infrastructure, green spaces, and nearby access to nature.

 

Our monthly board meetings are now held on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
