What is the Kennett Greenway?
The Kennett Greenway will be a 14-mile multi-purpose trail loop that connects the Kennett community to nature and each other. We believe that all people — no matter their background, neighborhood or identity — have a right to enjoy places and spaces that make their lives great. Come help us build a more beautiful, accessible and equitable community, together!
Our New Nature is Our Teacher Map & Passport
What We Believe.
The goal of the Kennett Greenway is to be positively transformational for our community. The key themes and principles underlying our project are:
Connect
We believe in the power of connection, whether it’s to nature, each other or place. The Kennett Greenway is built upon a foundation of connecting people to the beauty of nature, to each other’s stories, and to the amazing destinations this community has to offer.
Green
The Greenway’s construction features expert-led, environmentally-thoughtful design and partnerships to restore our watersheds and local landscape. We seek to help people build relationships with nature, so they can be effective stewards of her riches.
Community
All people should have access to a beautiful, healthy environment in which to play and recreate. We believe that nature is essential to thrive. The Greenway seeks to improve health and social equity and foster a community that is inclusive of all people for generations to come.
Sustainability
We envision a Greenway that will contribute to the sustainability of our community’s health, economy and environment. The Greenway seeks to reduce local traffic, connect local businesses, support healthy habitats and improve all our long-term mental and physical health.
