You're invited to join Friends of Stewart Park for a light-hearted look back at 20 years of trail making - the good, the bad, and... the surprisingly challenging! In this free virtual event, Jean McPheeters and Rick Manning will offer up a scintillating presentation on Ithaca's waterfront history, trails that inspired us, and a taste of the planning intrigue that led to the construction of our beloved Cayuga Waterfront Trail.

The Cayuga Waterfront Trail Initiative (CWTI) a partnership between the Tompkins Chamber, then led by Jean McPheeters, and the City of Ithaca. CWTI was coordinated by Rick Manning, hosted by the Tompkins Chamber Foundation, and initiated with the generous support of the Park Foundation.
