Who We Are
The Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail was formed as a nonprofit organization in the fall of 2008. We are a group of members and volunteers who are working hard to make sure that the Lower Merion communitys vision of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail will be fulfilled. We are managed by our Board of Directors, with critical help from our partners and sponsors. If you would like to join the Friends, please click here.
