Trail Maintenance Donations

The 27.5 miles of Ashtabula County’s Greenway are cared for with the help of dedicated volunteers. While their time is generously donated, trail upkeep requires equipment, supplies, and materials.

Donations are appreciated to help cover these costs and keep the trail in top condition.

You may choose to make a general donation to the parks or designate where your gift should be assigned.
