Saturday | Get Out and Help ADK support National Trails Day
According to the American Hiking Society, which sponsors National Trails
Day, the event inspires the public and trail enthusiasts nationwide to seek
out their favorite trails to discover, learn about, and celebrate trails while
participating in educational exhibits, trail dedications, gear demonstrations,
instructional workshops and trail work projects.
So why not join the Trails Committee on Saturday, June 7th at the Veterans
Memorial Park in Penfield, from 9 to 12pm, as we help the Penfield Trails
Committee and the Parks' Department spruce up the trail extension located
behind the Penfield Town Hall?

For this year's project, we will help do basic trail maintenance (spread
wood chips and rake them out) with equipment provided by the Parks Department.
All you need to bring is water, work gloves, hat, sunscreen, and your stamina.
For more information on how to join us, contact Mary Norman.
At 12pm, we will head to a local restaurant for lunch. In addition, there
will be a hike before or after the project as part of the Saturday Hiking
program–check back here as the details for the hike unfold.
