Yesterday Friends of the Riverfront turned 20 years old.  The nonprofit organization, founded on Valentine’s Day in 1991, works to improve Pittsburgh’s river fronts and make them a community amenity with trails and programs, including the Three Rivers Heritage Trail.

Pittsburgh Februaries might be a bit too cold to celebrate outdoor trails, but Friends of the Riverfront plans on celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout 2011.  The peak of the celebration, according to a press release, will be the 2011 Trail Mix(er)  on June 4 at the Steel City Rowing Club in Verona.
