Trail Maintenance Seminar
Here in Southwest Pennsylvania we have some of the best trail networks in the country with three National Trails right in our back yard - but they need your help. Bob Tait, the founder of the Butler Outdoor club, and Patty Brunner, Chair of the Baker Trail, will lead this FREE informative clinic aimed to teach you how to get involved and what to expect at your local trail service project. And while you’re at REI, sign up for REI’s Earth Day service project in Frick Park!

Baker Trail Maintenance Day
Help us re-route the Baker Trail! Our plan is to put the trail back down by Mahoning Creek (where it was a long time ago) and keep the road, Rt. 839, marked as an alternative to high waters. There is a good bit of work to do. Bring a lunch, water and lots of layered clothes. The focus will be clearing the trail -- there are a lot of downed trees, so chain saws are welcome. We'll also be collecting lots of trash deposited by high water during recent storms. Blazing is possible if the temperature permits. Contact Patty for more details.
