On our 25th birthday, thanking our founders, board members
Speaking of the Hop River: The national Rails-to-Trails Conservancy named Hop River State Park Trail as its trail of the month for January. The paved and stone-dust trail is part of the East Coast Greenway’s spine through Eastern Connecticut, stretching 12.5 miles between Hartford and Willimantic. 
Two veteran bike/pedestrian and greenway advocates are joining the East Coast Greenway Alliance staff this month to increase our focus on growing the Greenway in the Southeast. Brent Buice (far left) will serve as our South Carolina & Georgia Coordinator and Paul Haydt as Florida Coordinator.
