## Resource

For 22 years, Steven Gaskill has transformed Missoula’s M Trail from a simple memorial bench into a thriving outdoor hub—widening paths, adding benches, and rallying volunteers. With 13K hikers in just three weeks and up to 1,000 daily during peak seasons, the trail’s popularity demands care. Now, a new QR-code fundraising system lets hikers buy gear to directly support upkeep. Gaskill’s next moves? A bike trail near the golf course, easier-access routes, and a flat walking path to University Villages—all to ensure Missoula’s green spaces stay open, safe, and accessible as the city grows.
