Volunteers Needed

‘Tis the season. We’ve had two groups out already in this last week. And now our first community volunteers day on the trail… Saturday, May 23rd, 9AM to Noon or so. See the Volunteers page for details. And come join us on the trail!

Email List Organizing

I spent a little time entering emails and organizing our short but growing email list today. Made some phone calls to people for whom I had only a phone number.

Along the way, I got to chatting with one person who thought her work schedule would keep her from participating… but it turns out she was just out walking the trail and picked up a bunch of trash. Well, that counts as participating! Almost certainly somebody noticed her doing it, and now we have here, too.

If you’d like to be part of conversing and connecting and caring around the Trail, click the request link at the top of the sidebar, and I’ll add you to the list. Or just keep walking and quietly tending to what needs to be done around the Trail, whenever and however it’s easy for you!

Vehicle Needed (briefly) Saturday July 19th

A Trail Neighbor has donated 25 landscaping ties for lining the trail! She lives just a few blocks away, but probably too far to carry so many ties. We’d like to find a vehicle (w/driver) to deliver them to a trailhead on (or before) July 19th.

We want to install these things on our NEXT COMMUNITY TRAIL DAY – SATURDAY JULY 19TH.

Can you help?

Also on the 19th… we want to clear the edges of the trail (pulling weeds and cutting back overgrowth), pick-up any trash, and perhaps do some planting around some of the posts of the new fence (Lawrence all the way to Argyle) that’s been installed by the Park District in the last week or so. There’s a low hanging (somebody pulled it down) tree branch that needs cutting, too. Some fence post caps need to be re-glued.
