Tennessee Greenways and Trails Plan – 2008

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:11:08 +0000

The 2001 Tennessee Greenways and Trails Plan guided our state and federal land managing agencies and local governments to develop greenways and trails. The 2008 Plan builds on those successes and provides new ways to promote greenways and trails across Tennessee. This plan also encouraged planning, development and implementation from the grass roots level utilizing numerous public-private partnerships. Much has been accomplished. Now, Tennessee is ready to take the next step!

The next step is to continue to create more greenways and trails and look for the connections they provide. With a serious crisis in obesity and diabetes rates among Tennesseans and a wider societal search for stress relief in daily living, the need and demand for greenways and trails is greater and more relevant than ever.
