Betsy Vogel, President

Betsy is a long-time bicycling enthusiast of traila and roads, and declares that Green County, WI is among the finest bicycling destinations in the world! Last year, Betsy and the Friends' Group enlisted some very talented volunteers to donate the design, drawings, and some labor in completing the new kiosk at Stewart Tunnel. It was fun and gratifying and she looks forward to more service projects with the Friends group as she enters her term as president. email Betsy

Dan Sullivan

Dan is a lifelong bicyclist. He learned how to ride in the 50s on his sister’s big tire, full tank, coil spring cruiser on the side streets of Waterloo, WI. He and his wife, Anne, live on their 100 acres of recreational land, full of trails, streams, pond, woods and marsh just south of Belleville WI. The fine new Badger State Trail runs along about a quarter mile of the west side of the property. His mission is to make and keep our fine trails open and clean to all that will use them with respect, maintaining their quality and value for non motorized (except snowmobiles in season) recreational and physical pursuits. A naturalist at heart and owner of Sullivan Landscaping Company for over 30 years, Dan does not hesitate to use his expertise, equipment and time to help maintain the trail. Being active in the FOBST is a way of joining others to enhance the trail system for use of all ages. email Dan
