WE’VE FINALIZED THE DETAILS!
The Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway 2023 Virtual Step Challenge Fundraiser is one day away. This year’s event will be dedicated to raising money to establish a Capital Fund to support the Byway’s interpretive and wayfinding signs program.
The Need for a Capital Fund
We currently have 25 signs installed around the Byway. Three of the signs support our mission to share information about the history, culture, and natural landscape that is the focus of the scenic byway. Eleven signs are wayfinding signs for the Cayuga Lake Blueway Trail. The remaining eleven signs are interpretive signs for our Birding Trail.
While we partner with private and public locations to install our signs on their property, we are responsible to maintain and replace the signs as needed. Signs fade over time or are damaged by weather or humans and will need to be replaced in a timely fashion. We also want to install more interpretive signs to cover more history, culture, and landscape stories to enhance Byway travelers experiences. So, we’ve hit the threshold and now need to establish a dedicated fund for the sign program.
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $5,000.00 from this year’s event.
