Hello all,

Washtenaw County is conducting a user survey with the help of MSU to help get more funding to complete the trail.  You can volunteer to help out!  There are 20 volunteer shifts in Septembe they want to fill within the next week.

Here are the details:

Washtenaw County’s Border to Border (B2B) trail is a 35 mile long non-motorized trail that will, upon completion, follow the entire length of the Huron River on its course through the County, connecting parks and other destinations. Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation, Planning and Public Health Departments are working with MSU to complete a trail usage survey of the B2B. By gathering data on trail usage and demonstrating how the existing trails are being used, Washtenaw County will be better able to leverage available local, State and federal funding to complete the trail.

When: Shifts will be only a few hours, and a variety of dates, times and locations are available throughout the month of September. Volunteers may sign up for multiple shifts.

Where: Survey sites will be at one of the following locations: Riverside Park,

Gallup Park, Ford Lake and EMU campus

What will I be doing? This type of survey, called an intercept survey, involves two volunteers stationed along the trail assisting willing trail users to complete a one page questionnaire.
