Summer Cleanup on the I-275 Metro Trail

With summer solstice just around the corner, pitch to spruce up the trail.

PLYMOUTH, Mich — June 7, 2013 — Join the Friends of the I-275 Metro Trail for our next trail workday on Monday, June 10th from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.  This time we’ll be working on the Canton Township section of the trail just north of Van Born Rd.  Since spring is in full bloom, we’ll be working primarily on cutting back the vegetation, so bring hand clippers, loppers, shovels, brooms, rakes and saws – and a pair of sturdy work gloves.  We will be meeting at VanBorn Rd just east of the trail.

April 16 & 18 Workdays

We will be working from 5:30-7:00 p.m. both days.  The focus is on trash pickup so bring gloves.  It will most likely be wet out there, so good shoes are a plus.  Other than that, dress for the weather.  We will supply the trash bags.

March 26 we will meet at the Meijer’s parking lot.  Meijer’s is located at 8 Mi and Haggerty Rd.  We will be in the northeast side of the parking lot.  If you come late, we will be working north of 8 Mi.

March 28 we will meet at the Cherry Hill rest stop on northbound I-275.  We will be working south toward Michigan Ave.

Hope to see you on the trail.
