Whitefish Trail is a local jewel

The Whitefish Trail system is an absolute jewel, and a surpassing gift to our community. Its benefits reach far and wide, as previously well expressed by others.  

The nonprofit Whitefish Legacy Partners deserves our heartfelt thanks and our full support. Whitefish Legacy Partners, our mayor, city council, parks and recreation department, the DNRC, exceedingly generous and visionary private donors, numerous volunteers, and many others created a brilliantly designed treasure for current and future generations. It is an accomplishment borne of vision, leadership, collaboration, and many years and countless hours of challenging work.

Personal experience with non-profit groups has taught me the enormous value of broad public support. When many individuals contribute it serves to put wind at the backs of hard working board members, staff, and volunteers, and helps facilitate future planning.

Whitefish Legacy Partners is currently campaigning to expand its Friends of The Trail enrollment. I encourage everyone to visit the WLP website, learn about the organization and trail system, and consider participation.

In my view, it’s a great way to support a fabulous organization that has done so much for all of us.
