In celebration of National Trails Day, on June 7th, 2008, beginning at 8:00 a.m., the Office of Greenways and Trails will join with volunteers from around Florida for a work party on the Cross Florida Greenway. With the help of dedicated volunteers and support of trail user groups, much can be accomplished at the targeted areas of Coyote Corner and a former cow coral south of the Land Bridge corridor.
In the past we have had close to 70 volunteers who participated in the trail work party consisting of bikers, equestrians and hikers. I hope that we can go beyond that number and accomplish a major clean up.
At the end of the morning's activities, everyone will gather for a "volunteer appreciation" lunch with a special menu. You don't want to miss this one!
We plan to meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Land Bridge Trailhead before breaking up into groups. Bring some work gloves, sun block and wear some closed toe shoes... Mosquitoes are out so bring bug repellant too... We're in for a fun-filled morning of working together to help our trails look great and then celebrating our good work with some great food!
Please let me know if you will be able to attend or if you have an estimate of how many volunteers from your group will be able to participate:
I look forward to seeing each of you out on the trails.
