I received this from a Wabash Cannonball Trail supporter on some news from the last Fulton County commissioners meeting. The sections of trail in Fulton County that are not owned by City of Wauseon are owned by NORTA. We will be looking to get some more information.

We have received word from the contractor we hired to do trail brush clearing on the south fork from Henry Cty Rd 3 east to Henry/Lucas Countyline Rd. He will be starting Wednesday. The trail will remain open but make sure to proceed with caution. If you encounter workers be sure that you are seen before passing by.
We are hoping the project will be completed in 2 weeks. Watch here for updates.

The WCT has lots of trees that’s a good thing💪🚴‍♀️👍

The most powerful climate solution isn’t hidden in laboratories or locked behind billion-dollar technology.
It stands quietly along our roads, in our fields, and outside our homes.

A tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and stores it safely within its own living structure.
It cools the planet naturally, without noise, waste, or constant maintenance.

No factories. No complex machinery. No endless funding.
A tree grows on its own, heals itself, and becomes stronger with time.

It shelters wildlife, restores soil, protects water, and supports entire ecosystems.
Across generations, trees provide shade, oxygen, and stability—benefits that outlast most human-made systems.

While the world races to invent costly solutions to climate change, nature has already provided one.
Timeless. Efficient. Quietly powerful.
