Work Party Planned


“Many hands make light work” at Summit Heights hiking trail.
A work party lead by Larry Segal, the PLT's Secretary and Board Member is planned for Saturday July 12th at 2:00 pm. At this time we will be performing Annual Trail Maintenance to PLT’s Summit Heights property located at 109 Rosemary Rd., Prospect.

*Please consider spending an hour or two with the PLT team to help tidy up this very nice piece of property. This will also be a good opportunity to meet some of your fellow PLT members. Friends and family are all welcome!  
  
*Bring work gloves and tools if you have them. There will also be some on hand to share. Loppers, hedge trimmers, and a gas powered weed whacker will be needed.  

*Our Summit Heights property consists of 3.65 acres that was open space acquired through a conveyance from Robert and Mark Capanna and has a small "red blazed" loop trail that was created by Christine “Tina” Barry as a Girl Scout Gold award project.

Public access and on street parking is available.
