Promoting Indiana Trails & Greenways
Join us for our 5th Annual Greenways Foundation Luncheon
March 6, 2012 from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m.
“Walkability and livability lead to more attractive and functional communities, which helps improve individual and community health.” — Dan Burden
Come enjoy lunch, trail talk with other greenways enthusiasts and a lively, inspiring presentation from Dan Burden, who has personally helped 3,500 cities and towns worldwide take steps to become more walkable and liveable.
As tbe executive director of the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute, Burden’s vision is to create healthy, connected communities that support active living through walkable streets and better built environments. His presentation, “Helping the world get back on its feet,” will focus on the idea that successful cities and towns are designed around the human foot.
Your support helps create livable communities in Indiana! For high impact, become a luncheon sponsor at any of four levels; or come support our trail-building work with an individual ticket (and bring a friend).
The luncheon takes place Tuesday, March 6, 2012 from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m., at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, 350 West Maryland Street.
Featured trail group
Working on the (former) railroad
Having built much of their beloved greenway themselves, the Friends of the Nickel Plate Trail can justifiably be proud. From design to implementation, from pounding nails to pouring concrete, theirs has been the driving influence behind this must-see northern Indiana gem.
Featured trail
The creekside and riverfront path of Evansville’s Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage connects neighborhoods with downtown, and also connects residents with the city’s rich Ohio River heritage through the stunning Shirley James Gateway Plaza and other interpretive memorials. To learn more and download a trail map, visit the Evansville Parks & Recreation web site.
