🚴🌳 A New Connection for Our Community! 🌳🚶
We're excited to announce the completion of the newest phase of the Walnut Hike & Bike Trail, connecting the edge of Walnut to the Ross Preserve!
A huge thank you to McDonald Trucking & Paving for their excellent work in making this project a reality. Their efforts have helped create a much safer route for anyone walking, hiking, or biking to the preserve, eliminating the need to travel along the highway.
This project is another step toward making our community more connected, accessible, and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike. We hope you'll get out and enjoy the new trail!

And we're not done yet...
Stay tuned for more exciting Blue Raider Foundation projects in the months ahead! We're also thrilled to announce that Local Roots, Lasting Impact will be returning this year with up to $10,000 in community grants available to support projects that make Walnut an even better place to live.
📅 Grant applications will be available soon, with recipients being announced during Fall Fest.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Blue Raider Foundation and our mission to invest in the future of our community. Together, we're making a lasting impact!
