Pennsylvania’s Schuylkill to Susquehanna Major Greenway, designated in 2021, was inspired by the Greenway’s Native American predecessor – the Great Minquas Trail. A 1926 plaque marks the trail where it crossed Ridley Creek in Rose Valley PA, noting that “thousands of beaver skins yearly were carried down to Dutch and Swedish settlers on the Delaware.”

A network of rail-trails that follows this passage will soon link Harrisburg to Philadelphia. The webinar above was presented by trail and preservation architect Bob Thomas on March 21, 2024. Bob has worked on developing many parts of this new greenway.

The Lower Merion Conservancy’s webinars are made possible by membership gifts and donations.
