County Greenways Planning:
A Priority for Pennsylvania
To achieve Pennsylvania’s Greenways Vision requires planning for greenways by the Commonwealth’s 67 counties.
The Goal: By 2007, all 67 counties complete Greenway Plans! Does your county have a Greenway Plan in place yet? Click here to find out!
DCNR provides funding for greenways planning and for plan implementation. See the Greenways Toolbox for resources and information on planning and establishing greenways.

The Plan provides 12 implementation strategies which focus the program and help to measure its achievements. A summary of recent achievements can be found here: Greenways Program Achievements.
Spotlight on Partner Activities: Susquehanna Greenway's Tremendous Heritage Tourism Potential Revealed!
On March 24, 2009 the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership hosted a symposium focused on the findings of the "Susquehanna River Water Trail & Susquehanna Greenway Interpretive Master Plan." The plan includes an exhaustive survey and analysis of the 500-mile Mega-Greenway's historic, cultural, natural, and recreational resources. Additionally, the plan provides recommendations for interpreting and marketing those resources to attract millions of tourist dollars. The final report will be available early-summer of 2009.
