Help Build a New Pedestrian Bridge!

August 15, 2023 Written by Terri

The Crozet Trails Crew is raising money to build a bridge across Lickinghole Creek that will connect the trail from Westhall to Cory Farm, Sparrow Hill, and Chesterfield Landing, then, ultimately across Crozet Avenue to the network of bike/ped facilities in Old Trail! This project is a huge step forward in connecting the communities on both sides of Lickinghole Creek and opens the doors for our communities to enjoy the outdoors – and all our great trails have to offer. Read about it in this article from the Crozet Gazette.

Crozet Trails Crew needs your help to make it happen. Click here to donate.

Hello Crew!

With October coming to a close, we also conclude the “marketing and outreach” bonanza for the fall season. The Crozet Trails Day event (photos coming later)was a success and there are already plans forming for next year. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets (and thanks to Relay Foods and Blue Ridge Mountain Sports for donating items!!). The items have now gone to the winners– Congratulations to Ann, Tim, James, and Elizabeth!

The week prior to Crozet Trails Day, the CTC worked with two youth groups: WAHS 9th grade workday at Mint Springs (photos coming later) and Cub Scout Pack 114 workday at the Henley Hornets Trail (photos below). Both events were helpful and enjoyable and we hope to engage in more events like this in the future.

The upper section of the Grayrock Ponds Trail entrance is finished. If you are in the area, especially during a rain event, please go by and see how we did. If you notice any issues with erosion, please let me know.

There is a workday at Preddy Creek this Saturday (see previous post for details). This is a good chance for new Crew volunteers to learn more about how the County builds new trail systems. If you are interested in going and would like to carpool, let me know (either by comment on here or send me an email).

The next trail event in Crozet (as currently scheduled) will be a trail walk and trail work introduction on November 6th at Mint Springs Park. This walk will be led by Tucker or Dan from Albemarle County and will aim to orient everyone to the Mint Springs trail system, point out potential work day projects, and introduce new Crew members to trail work techniques and standards. Come on out and bring your family.

Our next Monthly Meeting will be held on November 11th (Thursday) at 6pm at the Crozet Mudhouse. Hope to see all of you there!
