The Environmental Protection Agency awarded $29,623 to Trailnet as part of EPA’s competitive Environmental Justice Small Grant program.
Trailnet’s Neighborhood Greenways St. Louis project will encourage residents in the City of St. Louis to prevent and reduce pollution, help with watershed management, and reduce rates of obesity and asthma by advocating for safe and inviting spaces for walking and biking.
Targeted neighborhoods include The Ville, Greater Ville, Jeff Vander Lou, and Carr Square just north of downtown; Forest Park Southeast in mid-city; and Dutchtown in south St. Louis.
