🌲🚵 Trail Work Day Success! 🚵🌲
Today was another fantastic day of giving back at the Forever Wild Trails in Dothan! Members of the South Alabama Mountain Bikers (SAM) came together for a trail brush clearing, overhang trimming, and cleanup day to help keep our trail system safe, enjoyable, and beautiful for everyone.
Despite a storm rolling through and a little rain, our volunteers never missed a beat. The weather didn’t slow us down, and in just a short amount of time we accomplished a tremendous amount of work across the trail system.
We were especially excited to have around 16 volunteers show up to lend a hand. That’s what community is all about! Every person who came out made a difference, helping maintain the 16 miles of multi-use trails that hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and families enjoy year-round.
As a nonprofit organization, SAM is proud to partner with and be trusted by the City of Dothan to help maintain these incredible trails. Days like today demonstrate what can happen when people come together to invest in their community and public spaces.
A special thank you goes out to Dunkin’ Donuts for sponsoring breakfast and helping fuel our volunteers before the workday began. We also want to thank SunSouth for generously lending equipment that helped with our dirt-moving efforts and allowed us to accomplish even more during the workday.
These partnerships and community relationships are what make projects like this possible. Together, we’re building and maintaining something that benefits the entire Wiregrass community.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, donated resources, and supported today’s effort. The trails are looking better than ever, and we’re already looking forward to the next workday!
