Trails as Infrastructure | Ben Tegeler, Ozark Greenways

In this episode of Living in the Ozarks, we sit down with Ben Tegeler, Executive Director of Ozark Greenways, to talk about what it takes to build a truly connected trail system across the Springfield region. We cover the major projects in motion — from the Chadwick Flyer and Fellows Lake loop to millions in newly funded corridors — and why Ben believes trails aren't a recreational amenity, but essential infrastructure for every demographic, every age, and every income level.This episode is part of the Ozarks Experience series, focused on the people behind the work shaping our region.
