Hey all..just a reminder, it is National Trails Day this Saturday. If you have the time, taking part in a trail project would be great thing
for any lover of the outdoors to do. If you do not live near a long distance hiking trail, I am sure there is an open space area, a city park,
local nature preserve, etc. that would love a hand.
The American Hiking Society has a great website that list some events in various states:
http://www.americanhiking.org/NTD.aspx
Other places for finding an event:
http://www.rei.com/trailsday

All events aren't listed, but the links do give a good starting place. As mentioned, many local orgs have events that may not even be on the first lists (I'm doing a Colorado Trail project that is not listed, for example).
So here's a chance to enjoy a pretty area, do something rewarding and get good hiking karma by leaving a trace. :)
