We are a small, but mighty team
Yet, we would like to build out our board, committees, and volunteers so we can be a stronger organization to facilitate the development of a regional network of trails and greenways to preserve the natural beauty of our area and provide safe recreation and alternate transportation opportunities for the people throughout the Green Lake region, including Berlin, Markesan, Princeton, and Ripon.
Depending on your interest level and availability, we have several options to get involved:
- Trail Ambassador. If you are a regular trail user, help us keep our trail well maintained by lending a hand and contacting a board member when appropriate.
- Advocate. Let’s talk more about how our organizations can work together to connect our communities and create a safe network of trails for everyone to commute and play.
- Volunteer. Lend a hand when it works for your schedule. We will add you to our mailing list and will reach out when we could use a few extra hands or a special skill.
- Committee Member. Share your skills and knowledge by volunteering on one of our committees.
