Enjoy A Beer, Support Outdoor Connections

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is raising funds for Delaware Greenways, one pint at a time!  Here’s how you can help:

  • Visit Dogfish Head Tasting and Tap Room in Milton during the month of August and order a Trailblazer beer from the Dogfish Head Benevolence Tap.
  • Visit multiple times in August.
  • Tell your friends!


Dogfish Head has long been a supporter of Delaware Greenways, and we are grateful for their continued support with this fundraiser.  And, how cool is it they brewed and named a beer especially for us?!

The brew masters tell us Trailblazer is a “juicy DIPA with a healthy dose of malted spelt, an ancient form of wheat that sustained ancient Romans on their travels. It brings a subtle nuttiness and spice character to the beer. On top of this foundation, we brought in a heaping dose of juicy hop varieties: BRU-1, Citra, Sabro and Mosaic.”

We hope you find time to stop by the brewery this month and raise a glass for our Trail and Byway Programs, and creating outdoor connections! 

Your support makes a difference!

NDGT Wayfinding Plan seeks to improve trail experience and increase users

Delaware Greenways has been awarded a grant by REI Co-op which will provide funding for a Wayfinding* Project on the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail (NDGT). Needless to say, we’re super excited about it – and extremely grateful to REI for the support! 

To date we have accomplished many parts that will help us complete the Plan:

  • Delaware Greenways’ volunteers have collected existing signage information for all signs on and around the trail. 
  • From this work we have developed a database with the location and photo of each sign.
  • Maps have been created using this information, and they can be viewed on the NDGT Project Site.
  • Public survey completed in October 2021 to collect trail user and non-user experience on Delaware trails, with a main focus on the  NDGT.
  • Based on survey data and other information, we are currently compiling a list of improvements for signage and trail accessibility for the surrounding communities.


Check back here, or add your name to our mailing list to receive updates as they unfold.

*Wayfinding refers to information systems that guide people through a physical environment and enhance their understanding and experience of the space.

As a member-owned co-op, REI invests deeply in stewardship of the outdoor places its members know and love. REI actively works with nonprofits across the country to steward and maintain local trails and public lands and connect people to the outdoors.
