Trail Improvement Community Service Project

The Tanglewilde neighborhood reached out to some local organizations about doing a community service project.  They wanted a trail through their neighborhood to be improved and to be safer.  This trail leads from the neighborhood to the local middle school.  With kids returning to school, they wanted the trail to be better and safer.

There was a big group from Faith Lutheran Church there and many people from that neighborhood.  My son's Cub Scout pack was invited to join the work party.  My family was the only group from the pack, though.  There was also another Boy Scout there on his own to get community service credit.

This was the trail and the mountain of gravel when we got there.

The kids and I mostly contributed to raking leaves, cutting back branches, and pulling up weeds.

Some local firemen came out to show their support for a little bit, too!  They gave out hats, stickers, and pencils to the kids.

Here is some work in progress on the trail:

I am really glad that we were able to represent Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts for this community project!
