Nature Trail Blog 2

Differences-
1. Less poison ivy
2. Trails were easier to follow (if covered by leaves)
3. The signs had been cleaned
4. Most of the branches had been moved off the trail
5. Many overhanging trees and branches had been cut down

K-12 Activities
1. Could have an annual "clean-up day" for the trail in which the students participate
2. Maybe on Earth day, elementary students can have a field trip through the trail
3. Middle school students could go there for a science class and test the water or soil
4. It could become a regular piece of extra credit for this class to go on the weekend and clean up the trail
5. Maybe before a break a group of students and teachers could go have lunch at the trail

Community Activities
1. If people needed a fundraiser there could be a nature walk through the trail and have a guide tell families about the trail
2. On Easter there could be a picnic or outdoor party at the trail
3. Maybe the town can go to the clean-up day with the school
4. The community could all plant a tree along the trail on Earth Day
5. On Labor Day, everyone could help clear the trail again.
