Trails and Greenways Sue Pryor Kerslake 864 NE 339th Ave Old Town, FL 32680 352-542-2211 “Trails” are defined as linear corridors and their adjacent land or water that provide public access for recreation or authorized alternative modes of transportation. “Greenways” are defined as a linear open space established along either a natural corridor, such as a riverfront, stream valley, or ridgeline, or over land along a railroad right of way converted to recreational use, a canal, a scenic road, or other route; any natural or landscaped course for pedestrian or bicycle passage; an open space connector linking parks, nature reserves, cultural features, or historic sites with each other and populated areas; or a local strip or linear park designated as a parkway or greenbelt. Greenways can expand recreational opportunities when trails are located within them. Just as people look to our garden clubs to make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors here in Florida, so too, do they look to the Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. to provide the news and information necessary to make informed decisions about the issues that impact their lives. When there exists an underlying concern for community, FFGC can make a real difference. This chairmanship will provide information about Trails and Greenways to the membership of FFGC. This information will be educational and informative or a call to action to resolve conditions or situations which are detrimental to the environment and/or public needs.
