Adjourn

Workday this Saturday

January 5th, 2012

Hi folks,

Hope everyone had a great holiday season!  Albemarle County Parks will be hosting another trail workday at Byrom this Saturday from 9am-12noon.  This month we plan to start work on the next loop trail connection which is further up the mountain from where we had been working in the fall.  This will create a longer and more rugged trail with great winter time views.  Come on out and burn off some of those extra holiday calories!  Hope to see you out there and feel free to contact me with any questions.  (Future workdays will be 2/11 and 3/3)
