[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The grass has grown quite tall, yet we managed to uncover some litter. It was amusing to see that the grass was taller than many of our volunteers, but thankfully, no one got lost in the field! Lol.

Please keep in mind that "FREE"...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We had another fantastic turnout of volunteers! This section of the trail has faced significant challenges over the past year, particularly with camps and needles.
