Channel 2 and The Trust

Francisco Bay Trail Project to receive the $5,000

Beyaert founded the Trails for Richmond
Action Committee (TRAC) with the mission of completing
the San Francisco Bay Trail in Richmond. He’s created
strong alliances for completing the project and built a
support group of more than a 1,000 members.
“I’ve always had a love for
the San Francisco Bay and its shoreline,” said Beyaert.
“When
we started, there were little trails, but with no connectivity.
We’re going to have 30 miles of the Bay Trail built
by year end.” |
