Calling all trail lovers to join forces this Sunday, 4/27, for a work party to clean and beautify the Clarion-Little Toby Trail. The trail board has teamed up with Discover Brockway on its annual clean-up event. Meet at 10 am at the Brockway Trail Head Pavillion. The group will work at least two hours, although you’re invited to spend a little more time, if you can. Bring gloves and wear sturdy shoes. Weather permitting, there may be some bridge painting, too, so dress appropriately if you’ll be grabbing a brush or roller.
See you on the trail!

I know this isn't much notice....If you can help clear trees on Wolf Run Trail tomorrow (Friday) at 10:00 am it will be very helpful. Meet at the McMinn Summit trailhead; If the bollard is open proceed toward south until you see me. There are two trees crossing the trail and another two partially blocking it. If there is enough help we should be done around noon.
