On March 20th, North Greene Junior High Science Club volunteers, accompanied by teachers, Stephanie Crabtree and Brandy Lawson, came to repaint the trail markers. We appreciate their work and they did a great job!

The group also helped carry our new bench up to the top of Cathedral Point on the Lime Green Trail. Groups and individuals are invited to come enjoy the trails at Doe Run Education Works by appointment. Also, if you or your group are looking for community service hours, we can use your help.
