Partnership Retrospective | Looking Back on Two Years with TART Trails
It is said that all good things must come to end. This rings especially true for Aspire North's partnership with TART Trails. It has been an absolute pleasure to have TART Trails as our Primary Non-Profit Partner for the last two years, and we are honored to count ourselves among the many other organizations and community members who contribute to TART's mission to "provide and promote a trail network that enriches people and communities throughout the greater Traverse region." So as 2021 and our partnership with TART come to a close, we would like to look back on some of the programs and initiatives that we took part in or contributed to. Thanks for a great two years TART! See you on the trail!
Thank you to Kate Lewis, Community Engagement Manager with TART, for contributing the summary of our partnership below!
Volunteer & Ambassador Program
TART Trails is grateful for many years of support from a diverse group of outdoor enthusiasts who donate thousands of volunteer hours to the organization annually. These individuals bring a variety of interests and skills and perform a wide range of duties such as trail building, maintenance, office work, Board of Directors and committees, events, and special projects.
Aspire North's sponsorship of this program resulted in a robust and busy two years of good work getting done out on the trails. Aspire North members joined TART's 400+ volunteer community and helped out with trail clean-ups, the annual Spring Work Bee, and events like Tour de TART.
