Trail Dames MaintainHere in Trail Dames, we spend much of our time hiking and backpacking the beautiful trails of this country. However, these trails are created through hours of hard work and to say 'thank you' for the paths, we put forth special effort to take part in the trail maintenance. Although moving dirt, lifting rocks and cleaning streams is tough work, we get a special sense of accomplishment knowing that we are earning our place in the parks and wilderness areas that we traverse. Won't you come join us?

This was the first Trail Dames "Give Back" volunteer work day. Brenda Bryson, Traci Bango, and I met up with Cynthia Taylor (Natural Resource Manager) to do trail maintenance at Elachee Nature Science Center (Chicopee Lake location). We joined up with James Hocutt, Robert Kriner, Suzanne Morgan and Ryan Morgan from Boy Scout Troop 576, Katrina Clay and long time Elachee volunteers Rick Taylor, Joe Meadows and Lane Hurst. From the Chicopee Lake parking lot we headed off to the left along the East/West Lake Trail following along the ridge above the lake and into the woods for about half a mile. Read More...
