Spring on the Nature Trail

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In our effort to become more digital, more efficient, and more informative, the Nature Trail Committee is providing their first post to the ccicharlestown.org blog.

The Committee has existed since 1997 and currently has 38 members, as well as liaison with the Grounds Department.  New members are always welcome at our monthly meetings in the Cross Creek Crafts Room at 10:00 a.m. on the third Wednesday of each month.

The Committee mission has been to assist the Grounds  Department in maintaining Charlestown’s Nature Trail, which is laid out for half a mile along the Herbert’s Run creek in the north part of our campus.  Last year, the Committee voted to expand the mission to include the lake area, since the trail around the lake can be viewed as an extension of the Nature Trail, and no other resident group has pursued informal maintenance or improvement of the area.
