Big News: Some Trail is Built, and We're building More.

The Firefly Trail is officially underway.  Community by community, penny by penny, grant by grant, and donation by donation, the trail is taking shape.  As match to federal grants and to supplement other work, Firefly Trail, Inc. is working with local communities to build three "Model Mile" sections of our trail in Athens-Clarke County, Maxeys, and Union Point.  

Raise $62,000?  We did it.

​That's right: we raised over $62,000, and then an additional $40,000 for a total of more than $100,000, to build the trail and support local efforts in Maxeys (Oglethorpe County), Union Point (Greene County), and Athens-Clarke County.  Thanks to a mix of local dollars, grant funding, and our generous donors, these Model Miles will show people along the corridor how the Firefly Trail will look and feel, how it will benefit their communities, and how they can get the most out of it.
