The GreenWays Initiative will help connect the communities of southeastern Michigan through the creation of a connected green infrastructure, including biking and hiking paths, conservation corridors and habitats among and between communities.

Greenways are linear open spaces, including habitats and trails, that link parks, nature reserves, cultural features or historic sites with each other, for recreation and conservation purposes.

The GreenWays Initiative was developed to create opportunities for collaboration and shared environmental awareness and appreciation by the residents of the seven-county region. A five-year program of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, the GreenWays Initiative is a comprehensive effort that will expand and enhance our region's natural landscape.
