The Lindsay Pettus Greenway is an outdoor venue designed to inspire Lancaster County's next generation of conservationists.
The Greenway is designed to instill a love for nature in our youngest generation. Our very own Granny Greenway can offer guided field trips and outreach programs for elementary grade levels. A weekly Mama & Me program offers a gentle and supportive outdoor learning experience to little ones and caregivers.
Beautification clean-up events, garden installations, and nature walks are offered in collaboration with Katawba Valley Land Trust, Keep Lancaster County Beautiful, Kids in Parks TRACK Trails, and the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation.
We partner exclusively with the Lancaster County Council of the Arts to set artistic standards and commission local artists to create delightful moments that inspire Greenway visitors to value our community's natural beauty.
GUIDED HIKE VIDEO SERIES
We are grateful to Katawba Valley Land Trust for creating a magnificent 25-minute guided hike video series and corresponding brochure for the Lindsay Pettus Greenway. This video series was designed to support science standards for the educators and families within the Lancaster County School District.
