Trail Bench Sponsorship

A bench on the trail in honor or memory of a loved one or co-worker is a wonderful way to support trail maintenance while providing a tangible and lasting amenity for all trail users. Benches are made of pressure treated wood that will last for decades and are installed when the weather permits. The $2,500 bench sponsor cost includes a plaque with your sentiments. TART Trails staff will work with you on the location of the bench. Those who sponsor a bench are recognized as a TART Trails Sustainers Circle member.
