MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STEWARDSHIP FUND

_At Schuylkill River Greenways, were passionate about building new trailsbut keeping them safe, beautiful, and accessible is just as important. From Pottstown to Frackville, challenges like storm damage, sinkholes, and fallen trees can pop up at any time, often requiring us to shift resources away from creating new trail experiences._

_Thats where the STEWARDSHIP FUND comes in. This dedicated fund will help us respond quickly to maintenance needs, tackle major repairs, and care for the trail in ways that grants and memberships dont always cover. With your support, we can ensure the trails you love are ready for race dayand every day._
