Kerrville Urban Trail System
A grassroots effort of
Kerrville businesses,
Kerrville organizations, and
City/County leadership
The Kerrville Urban Trail System (KUTS) is a non-profit grassroots organization that promotes walkability, community vibrancy and cohesion among businesses and people through a system of independent walking/biking trails in districts throughout Kerrville.
Clay South is the pilot trail project, extending from Depot Square at Schreiner Street to the Kerrville Parking Garage and future Heart of the Hills Heritage Center at Water Street
The goals of KUTS: Clay South include:
The Trailblazer was our initial fundraising event held on Friday, November 2, 2018 at the Plant Haus 2 on Jefferson Street, on a beautiful Hill Country night. The event included a chef-prepared pig roast, beer and wine, live music, a series of PechaKucha presentations (www.pechakucha.org), an introduction to the KUTS concept, and a silent auction. Through the generous support of ticket purchasers, sponsors, and donors, The Trailblazer raised nearly $15,000 in funds to be applied toward trail design.
In 2018, after borrowing her forklift for the 100th time, the owner of Pint & Plow and the boss of Plant Haus had an epiphany: good things are happening on Clay Street in Kerrville.
This inspired a party. Zanzenberg Farm provided a pig, Rails offered their catering kitchen, Bakery JoJu orchestrated a meal, and the neighbors chipped in to throw a fundraiser like no other.
