Wowing the crowd at Chicago Southland Green Drinks »

Chicago’s Field Museum just posted: “Steve Buchtel Wows Crowd at Chicago Southland Green Drinks.”

For our first public speaking gig as Trails for Illinois, we have to say that’s a great headline!

Your takeaway: invite me out to speak to your group. We are ready.

I'm Steve Buchtel, the new Executive Director of Trails for Illinois. From 2001 to summer 2011, we were the Illinois Trails Conservancy.

I'm embarking upon an adventure: building a statewide trails community that will integrate trails and trail experiences into Illinois work, play, life.

This tumblr blog is just the start of community building TforI—hey, we got a nickname!—will do. It'll be our journal as we figure out our website, our membership, and fundraising, and a place to post trail news, issues and thoughts.

Thanks for reading, and welcome!
