As with many programs here, the number of Trail Stewards continues to grow each year. Trail Stewards adopt a trail section in a specific parkland and commit to monitoring and addressing general maintenance issues that arise on that section. Two trail stewards of the Natural Education Reserve, Steve Rouse and Heather Peyton, took this responsibility head on by organizing and leading a workbee. During this work bee the stewards installed signs, widened a section of trail that was encroaching on the river and causing erosion, and planted dozens of native seedlings along the riverbank. See pictures below. It’s passionate volunteers like these that help us inspire exploration, appreciation, and conservation of our natural world. Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers involved in helping us keep our parklands safe and enjoyable for all! To learn more about our trail steward program, contract Robin Christensen at 941.0960.
