Nakwema Founders are those who contribute $100,000 or more to the Nakwema Trailway. Investing in trails is investing in people. Founders provide critical funding in support of happy, healthy, resilient individuals and communities that make up the quintessential towns, villages, and rich cultural heritage that define northwest Lower Michigan.
Nakwema Founders will be recognized at all trailheads, in a quarterly e-newsletter, and at nakwematrailway.org.
For more information about the Nakwema Trailway Founders Circle, contact Casey Ressl, TART Trails Development Director, at casey@traversetrails.org.
