Mile Marker Sponsorship
Display your support for TART Trails to the many thousands of trail users by sponsoring a mile marker along the Leelanau, TART, Boardman Lake, or Mall trail. You will be ensuring access to trails for your friends, neighbors and customers. All funds are designated for trail maintenance. Mile marker sponsorship is $1,500 annually. Mile marker sponsorship includes a sign with logo or dedication. Sponsors are recognized as TART Trails Sustainers Circle members.
There are currently no mile markers available. If you’d like more information or to be added to the waitlist contact Janna at ja***@tr************.org or 231.941.4300 for more information.
Wayfinding Sign Sponsorship
Trail users benefit from signage that helps orient them along the trail and helps direct them to places along the way. Sign sponsors are recognized as members of TART Trails’ Sustainers Circle of Donors. The annual cost of sponsorship is $1,000.

Trail Bench Sponsorship
TART Trails currently offers a limited number of benches on the Boardman Lake Loop Trail and along the Acme Connector Trail, where benches have already been pre-installed. Due to the high number of existing benches on the Leelanau Trail, we have paused new installations on the Leelanau Trail. Bench sponsorship is a one-time donation of $10,000.
