WHO WE ARE

We are volunteer citizens working towards creating a safe trail for everyone to enjoy. 

We feel that having a safe place for our children to exercise, play, roller blade, learn to ride a bike, or even walk, will provide a real benefit to our community. 

We see this becoming a community asset and resource whereby pedestrians and bicyclist can freely use this trail to exercise, connect to the library, recreation center, school, ball parks and shopping centers.

Another benefit would be having a well built trail so our senior citizens will have a safe place to use their wheelchairs, electric scooters or  just a place to stroll to the library or shopping centers,  as they enjoy the outdoors.

We can have a walkable, healthy community that will increase the quality of life, enhance outdoor recreation and improve the protection of this environmentally sensitive corridor.

We Need Your Help

 

                                                        

 

We are looking to rally Seabrooks' residents time and ideas, as well as public and private investment.

We do not want to miss out on
funding support from the next stage of
 development in this town!
 
This development could potentially make our side roads increasingly dangerous, leaving our children without a safe place to walk or ride their bikes, to the library, recreation center or sports fields.

 

How Can You Help?


 We need citizens who can help in various capacities, including, but not limited to:  organizing fundraisers and other events, contacting individuals, businesses and other organizations in town to let them know about the projects and ask if they would be willing to help with volunteer time, in-kind assistance or funding support.
   
We  could also use website and graphic design skills, help establishing a Non-Profit status and a volunteers to meet with local and state politicians.

If you don't have time to help, please contact our local elected officials to let them know you support this trail and spread the word about this project to your  friends, neighbors & peers!
