Friends of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, Inc. are cyclists, hikers, and naturalists who are working with area park departments to create a linear park and greenway on the former Pumpkinvine corridor between Goshen,Middlebury and Shipshewana, Ind.
The purposes of the Friends of the Pumpkvine Nature Trail are:
1) to establish a recreational trail between Goshen and Shipshewana, Ind., using the abandoned Penn Central right of way;
2) to develop and promote consensus, through education of the population, regarding the advantages of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail; and,
3) to ensure that an implementation mechanism is established to acquire, develop, maintain and operate the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail.
