The GreenWays Initiative, a program of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan that launched in 2001, is a comprehensive effort aimed at expanding and enhancing our region's natural landscape. The GreenWays Initiative is about linkage, leverage, and collaboration: linking communities - leveraging vision, resources, and people - and collaborating to promote and protect the health and well-being of the community for the present and the future.

Through $25 million in foundation and private contributions, the GreenWays Initiative assisted communities and organizations in the development and implementation of greenways plans and projects that leveraged another $90 million of matching investments from government and other sources. This landmark initiative channeled an unprecedented $115 million so far to create and expand greenways in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw, St. Clair, and Livingston counties.

Detroit Public Television takes a look at the impact GreenWays are making on people across the region.
