Meet Travis

Travis Newberry is the Senior Planner for one of our partners, the City of Wildwood Department of Planning and Parks. He is also one of our former interns!

“Great partnerships and an enthusiastic and involved community are what it takes to protect and enhance great natural and recreation areas in the St. Louis region. One example is the Meramec Greenway: Glencoe to Sherman Beach Park. It’s a hidden gem worth exploring with so many connections to parks and trails and sweeping views of the Meramec River Valley. I am proud to be part of the City of Wildwood team as we work with many partners like Great Rivers Greenway, Missouri State Parks, Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC), St. Louis County and many others to make this greenway a premier destination for people to get outside and have fun! I have also enjoyed volunteering with the Open Space Council to remove invasive Bush Honeysuckle along this greenway. You can see the result of everyone’s hard work as views of the Meramec River open up again along the Al Foster Trail. I encourage people to come out to Wildwood to see this greenway and others—fall is the perfect time to do it! ”
