Spring trail cleanup volunteers needed in Lakefield
The Lakefield Trail Association is looking for helping hands this coming Saturday for their annual trail cleanup. Anyone who wants to volunteer can meet at the shade shelter on Water Street in Lakefield (at the end of Reid Street by the river) at 9 a.m. to begin trail maintenance.
Tasks will include spreading limestone screenings, picking up garbage and other work projects along the trail. If you can, please bring a shovel and/or a rake, and a wheelbarrow if you have one. Gloves are also important, but don’t worry if you don’t have any of these items because extras will be available.
The group will be working rain or shine, and all are welcome to help out. Call the Lakefield Trail Committee if you have any questions at 705-292-9507 ext. 243 or visit www.lakefieldtrail.ca for more information.
