Prince Edward County Millenium Trail

PHASE 1 FINAL STEP

The Trail from Conley Road to Belleville Street has been graded for some time and we are waiting for the contractors who have offered to donate their trucks and rollers and drivers to choose some time in their busy fall schedule to lay down the limestone screenings. 

 

PEC Trails

If we get a few days of rain during the week, the contractors may not be able to do their excavating work , and it would be beneficial to harden the limestone after it were rolled.

 

We appreciate the offers that have been made to donate their time and equipment, so we are waiting for them to choose the right time for their schedule.

FACEBOOK & TWITTER VOLUNTEER REQUESTED

The project could benefit from a volunteer to maintain social media sites on Facebook, Twitter, the Rotary website and the Ontario Trails Council blog. If you are interested and can commit the time to maintain these sites, please contact me.
