Our Story
Pathfinders for Greenways, Inc. was established in 1997 as a response to a citizen initiative aimed at improving the quality of life in the Roanoke Valley. This initiative led to the formation of the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission, which oversees the development of a vast network of greenways. Inspired by successful projects in other states, local citizens collaborated with city officials to advocate for greenway development alongside essential infrastructure improvements. With the support of experts in the field, the organization has worked tirelessly to educate the community on the numerous benefits of greenways.
