ACRP and FMST Trail Work Day May 2014

Alamance County Recreation and Parks and Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are hosting a Trail work day!

When: Saturday, May 10, 2014
Time: Starting at 9:00am at Red Slide Park 389 Lang St, Haw River
Bring: bag lunch & snacks for yourself, water, work gloves, long pants (poison ivy), work shoes, bug spray (ticks)

Trail construction begins this weekend on a four mile section of trail through the heart of Alamance County.  This stretch of trail, from Stoney Creek Marina to Red Slide Park in downtown Haw River, is the culmination of over five years of planning, fundraising and working with riverside landowners to gain access to the property.  Once complete, this section will add to the existing section between Indian Valley and Stoney Creed to create eight miles of continuous Haw River Trail/ Mountains-to-Sea Trail.

The train construction will be completed with the assistance of the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.  Work begins this Saturday and will continue through the Fall (additional work days: June 14 and July 12).  Volunteers of all skill levels are needed to help with this section, so please consider coming out to help.
