The East Coast Greenway is being put together by many
dedicated people who recognize the benefits of an off-road trail from
Maine to Florida.
However, there is also a core of dedicated professionals at the
Alliance who direct the organization and see that things get done - our
State Committee Chairs, Board of Trustees, Trail Council, Advisory
Board, and staff. Click on the hyperlinked names to email or read a little about
them.
