Starr Hill to the Trail, and Back
Do you know how convenient it is to stop by Starr Hill when you’re taking a walk on the Crozet Connector Trail?
Find out with our Guided Trail Walk from Starr Hill to the Trail and Back.
On Saturday, November 19, at 1:00 p.m. meet Joe and Colleen in the patio at Starr Hill Brewery on Three Notch’d Road, then leave for a short walk out to the Connector Trail. The distance you go on the trail will depend on the requests of the group, but you can plan for approximately a 3 mile round trip walk.

Love the Trails? Drink a Beer!
Through the month of November, Starr Hills Taproom in Crozet will donate $1 to the Crozet Trails Crew for every pint of “The Love” beer sold. What an easy way to support trails in Crozet!
Saturday Work Day in Old Trail
We will be working this Saturday on the trail next to Lickinghole Creek in Old Trail, We will be widening and stabilizing the trail as it cuts into the slope. It’s a lovely section of trail that could use some TLC to preserve it and make it safer and easier to pass across. We also will need to do some pruning and trimming, as we haven’t visited this section of trail in several months.
Meet at 9 a.m. at the gravel driveway at the intersection of Golf Drive and Rowcross Street in Old Trail. Bring water, gloves, and bug spray, and wear sturdy shoes. Under 18 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
Sign up here. Feel free to come if you don’t sign up, but this lets us get in touch with you in case weather causes us to postpone the work day.
Directions: from Crozet Avenue, head west on Jarmans Gap Rd, then turn left onto Old Trail Drive. At the third roundabout, use the third exit to head east on Golf Drive. Drive to the end and park along Rowcross St.

September Work Day in Small Groups
On Saturday, September 17, we will meet at 8:30 a.m. at Crozet Park and then divide up into smaller groups to work on trails at Fairwinds Lane in Western Ridge, Creekside in Old Trail, and the Dog Park at Crozet Park. There will be mowing, weed-whacking, and pruning/lopping at each of these locations. We will also need team leaders who will ensure that the right equipment gets moved out and back, and can direct the work.
It’s definitely still tick & chigger season, so long pants, socks, and sturdy shoes are recommended. Bring your own gloves, hat, and water, and be sure to use bug spray. Use our tools or bring your own. Under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
You don’t need to sign up, but if you do we can get in touch if weather is a problem, plus it helps us plan to have enough tools. Here’s the sign up sheet.
DIRECTIONS: Meet at the CTC shed next to the Community Building (formerly Radio Building). Enter Crozet Park from Park Street and follow the road to the left of the pool area, continuing to the far side of the parking lot behind the pool.
