Trail Opportunities for Community Service

[Jeff Walker]

If you run these trails consider lending a couple hours of your volunteer time. Contact either leader if you think you can help or just show up. #1 is more important as there is lots of material to move and helping out any evening for however long is a help.

1. Paddock Way (connects to Falmouth Community Park) - Tomorrow at 5:30 PM! Wed Aug 1 (and later dates - see text)

contact: Caleb Hemphill <ch...@maine.rr.com>

The Falmouth Community Park/Paddock way trail materials have been actually ordered and are scheduled for delivery this Wednesday, Aug 1st .  Thank you again, Jim and Emily for getting the grant funds to make this happen.

 

Here is the work site access location at the very end of Paddock Way: http://goo.gl/maps/I3B1 

 

Green arrow on map would be exact spot.  The trail is right there and the materials will be right there also.

 

I think in order to make this rather big project happen, we should still have the first trail event (some installation and carry materials into trail) the evening of Wed., Aug 1, 5:30 to 8:00(?).  Work can continue informally Thurs and Fri evenings, and officially again on Sat (and maybe Sunday) morning to complete the project.  Schedule depends on who we get to show up and the weather.
