TART Honors Two 'Trail Pioneers'

Two longtime TART Trails' advocates – Jerry Glenn and Jim "Woody" Woodburne – have been named co-recipients of this year's Jim Mudgett Trail Pioneer Award. Both men have worked for years on the Vasa Pathway and the North American Vasa event, are avid cross-country skiers and enjoy giving back to the ski community.

Glenn also coordinated the replacement of the bridges along the TART Trail, including securing funding and recruiting volunteers and Woodburne also organized volunteers to remove invasive species along the Leelanau Trail corridor.

Jim Mudgett was a founding board member of TART Trails who passed away in 2004. The award was created to honor and pay tribute to individuals who have shown leadership and passion for local trails.
