Organizers credit volunteers and donors — dozens of foundations and more than 550 supporters helped close the gap
Summary
Eastern Trail Alliance and local organizers named corporate and individual donors and said more than 550 contributors, plus federal and state partners, supported the project; organizers asked attendees to continue to support stewardship and future segments.
Carol Brush, former executive director of the Eastern Trail Alliance and Eastern Trail Management District, recounted two decades of fundraising and named major contributors the event recognized. She singled out Town and Country Federal Credit Union for a major early donation that funded the bridge over the Nonesuch River and thanked other corporate donors and philanthropic foundations including IDEXX, WEX, the Glendy Family Foundation and the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation.
Brush said the campaign drew "over 550 individuals, corporations, governmental agencies, foundations, and supporters to close this gap." Organizers asked attendees to respect and steward the new section and encouraged continued donations and volunteer engagement to finish remaining connections in the regional trail network.
