People are helping to create the East Coast Greenway in many ways. Here are a few ways you can help, too:

Become a member of the East Coast Greenway Alliance. We always welcome new members. A larger constituency gives us a louder voice when calling for creation of new trails along our route.
Become an ECG Ambassador in New England! Click here to learn more..
Get active with your state committee. At the forefront of the East Coast Greenway project are our 16 state committees. They're taking the lead in orchestrating trail projects all along the ECG corridor, and they're always looking for enthusiastic volunteers! .
Donate to the ECGA. Your donation can support the national office as well as your local state committee.
Sponsor a mile of the ECG. You can sponsor a mile and have your name or a dedication on an informational kiosk along our route.
Tell others about the ECG. The more people who know about it, the faster we can get it done!.
Work to get your local trails built. The ECG is made up of local trails, so the efforts you make to help build trails in your community will help the ECG as well.
Ask your local officials to complete the ECG in your community. They hear it from us, but if you live there it will mean so much more coming from you!.
Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Get the word out to the whole community!.
Get out there on your favorite trail! Increased trail use puts all trails and greenways a little higher on your local, state, and federal governments' radar screens. It's good for you, and it's good for the East Coast Greenway!
