Urban Trail Co.

Urban Trail Co. is a volunteer organization funded solely on donations with a 6-member board and an advisory board of knowledgeable trail builders and trail user community representatives. Trail-building resources are allocated through five volunteer, regional trail directors, who are among Kansas City's most experienced trail builders.
