Thursday June 11, 2015 - Horseshoe Trail Cleanup

MARK is coordinating a Horseshoe Trail Clean-up. This event occurs on the section of the trail that BCHC periodically maintains, being from Knauers to Adamstown. Trail maintenance is an opportunity to give back to the community and is greatly appreciated. So, come with a smile and a sense of humor and don’t forget to bring the usual tools and work gloves. Carry water and a snack, if desired, but a lunch stop afterwards is a good possibility.
