How We Work - Great Rivers Greenway

Our Commitment

It’s an honor to implement your vision to make the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a regional network of greenways. We are a public agency, created by a vote of the people in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County in the year 2000 to create a sales tax dedicated to this mission. Those funds allow us to collaborate with partners and communities to build, care for and bring to life your network of greenways, creating healthy habitats and watersheds along the way. It’s an honor to deliver on the community’s vision for a vibrant, connected region. 135 miles of greenways and counting! Here’s how we work:

Collaborative Model

This bold vision takes a regional approach – unique, complex, innovative and always-evolving partnerships.

Community Engagement

Throughout all stages, our greenway projects NEED to hear from YOU to inform the decision-making process.

Conservation

We improve habitats along greenways and engage the community in the process!

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We embrace the diversity of our region, create inclusive public spaces with and for all, and bring greenways to life in ways that achieve more equitable outcomes for all.

Storytelling

Greenways offer a chance to create meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, conversation, learning and connection.
