Good Morning Everyone,

The Ingham County Parks Department is hard at work preparing for the renewal of the Trails & Parks Millage in 2026, and we’re seeking support to help bring two exciting initiatives to life.

1. Trails & Parks Challenge (Year-Long Community Event)
We’re planning a year-long celebration of Ingham County’s incredible trails, parks, and blueways! The Trails & Parks Challenge will encourage residents and visitors to explore the outdoors, stay active, and earn rewards along the way. This fun, community-focused initiative will promote healthy living and raise awareness about the many natural assets throughout our county.

2. Ingham County Trails Promotional Video (for 2026 mParks Conference)
We are also producing a dynamic, inspiring video highlighting our trails system to be showcased at the 2026 mParks Conference in Lansing. This video will spotlight the beauty, accessibility, and importance of our local trails, helping to build community pride and support for continued investment.

To make these projects a success, we’re reaching out for help with planning, coordination, and promotion. Whether you're interested in supporting one or both initiatives, we’d love to have you involved.

If you’re interested in collaborating on the Trails & Parks Challenge and/or the promotional video, please fill out the attached form and e-mail (ntro...@ingham.org) me by Monday June 30, 2025. Once we’ve gathered interested partners, we’ll schedule a planning meeting to discuss next steps.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at ntro...@ingham.org or 517-525-0452.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support and celebrate the incredible trails and parks of Ingham County. We hope you’ll join us in making these initiatives a success!
