We want to learn from you!

ECRT has partnered with UB Planning students to learn from the communities surrounding the trail.

 

We would like to know your thoughts on the trail through upcoming workshops and an online public survey.

Membership Drive continues...

Love the outdoors? Consider joining us. Your support helps our ongoing efforts to preserve the former rail corridor with the intent to develop it into a multi-use recreational trail. It also demonstrates community support to our local and state officials.

 

All members receive our ECRT newsletter as well as additional benefits, depending on the Membership level you choose.
