 Greenways
Toolbox
Pennsylvania is vigorously developing a statewide greenway system. This Toolbox page references a variety of greenways-related state and local programs, studies, guidebooks, and presentations developed by many different government and non-profit organizations in Pennsylvania. A special focus of the toolbox is to highlight resources for counties that are planning for greenways—and creating the framework for an interconnected network across the Commonwealth.
An especially valuable Toolbox resource available on-line is Creating Connections: The Pennsylvania Greenways and Trails How-To Manual that describes the process for creating, acquiring, constructing, and managing Pennsylvania Greenways.
Also see a list of additional resources in alphabetical order.
Resources are organized to assist those working on the various stages of greenways development. These resources are divided into Planning Greenways, Implementing Greenways, Managing Greenways, and Funding Greenways.
These resources feature Pennsylvania-based studies and programs that highlight the far-reaching benefits of greenways, including economic impact studies and health connections.
These presentations and the GreenTreks Video, “Greenways, the Way to Go,” are educational resources that can be viewed or downloaded.
