Who We Are

We have worked since 2006 to develop a network of multiple use recreation trails in and around the City of Norwich.

Our members and board have volunteered their time and effort not only in creating and maintaining the trails, but also advocating for and promoting public access to the trails and open spaces along the Chenango River and the greater Norwich area.
