Border to Border Trail Survey
Washtenaw County's Border to Border (B2B) trail is a 35 mile long non-motorized trail following the Huron River through the county.  The trail connects a variety of destinations, including the cities of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, their univeristy campuses and miles of trail through parkland such as Gallup.  Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation, Planning and Environment and Public Health Departments are working with MSU to complete a trail usage survey of the B2B.  Gathering data on trail usage and demonstrating how the existing trails benefit the community will increase the ability to leverage available funding to complete planned segments of the trail. Volunteers are needed to help survey trail users.
