Great Rivers Greenway District
DESCRIPTION AND/OR LINK
The Great Rivers Greenway District is a regional open space, trails, and greenway provider for St. Louis and surrounding counties. It was established in November 2000 by the Clean Water, Safe Parks and Community Trails Initiative in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County, Missouri.
The GRG District works for a clean, green, connected St. Louis region. Accordingly, and frequently in partnership with municipal, governmental and public agencies, as well as private and nonprofit organizations, the GRG District is spearheading development of the River Ring.
The River Ring is as an interconnected system of greenways, parks and trails that will enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors by encircling the St. Louis region. It will eventually include a 600-mile web of more than 45 greenways. These will crisscross the region and provide access to trail and greenway projects developed by the Metro East Park and Recreation District in Madison and St. Clair counties, Illinois.
The current plan, which stresses the general principles of Economic Development Social Capital and Environmental stewardship, comprises 14 greenway corridors.
