Andover Augusta Rails To Trails Initiative

The Redbud Trail, currently spanning 6 miles and connecting into Wichita, aims to expand into Augusta, stretching 20 miles in total. As a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, AARTI seeks funds to enhance and expand the trail, with ongoing efforts to match grants for adding essential amenities and making significant developments. The organization deeply appreciates the invaluable support of the community, who generously volunteers their time to maintain the trail, further fostering a strong sense of unity and collaboration.

In pursuit of its vision to improve the local community through recreational development, AARTI was established in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
