Step outside. Explore the valley.

What a year it has been! The heavy rains did a number on the trail and delayed other planned work so we could fix storm damage between Mayport and Brookville. There are still some areas that need attention.

But most of the grant work on miles 12.46 Leatherwood Station to 19 Long Run has now been completed. We were able to replace failing culvert pipes and put down new crushed limestone thanks to matching grants from the Northwest Commission Greenways Block Grant program with funding from DCNR & DEP.

We had over 85 trees down between June and September and a couple landslides due to the heavy rains. We are blessed with great volunteers who took care of those trees in short order.

Our December fundraising challenge will begin soon to help replenish our funds from this year's damages and to continue putting down fresh limestone on more miles of the trail. Thanks for your support.
