June 5, 2008 . . . National Trails Day 2008 will be observed on Saturday, June 7, bringing together outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds to celebrate the great natural heritage of the United States trail system. Traditionally held each year on the first Saturday in June, National Trails Day was established to recognize the value of recreational trails and the people involved in building and maintaining them.
National Trails Day 2008 is a great opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities and celebrate the wide range of public trails available to us all. A number of events are planned throughout the Kansas City region on June 7, including walking and biking activities, trail openings, family entertainment and educational seminars.
The Kansas City region boasts nationally recognized trails and parks systems, including MetroGreen, a partially completed 1,144-mile interconnected system of public and private open spaces, greenways and trails designed to link seven counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The plan covers Leavenworth, Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas and Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte counties in Missouri.
