Trail and Trail Garden Clean-Up Days

Our trail needs constant maintenance, but to make it more fun, we schedule volunteer maintenance days four times a year to keep the Lehigh Valley Trail and Trail Garden in shape. We hope you can join the Adopt-a-Trail Sponsors, the Henrietta Garden Club, and members of the Foundation to cut back brush alongside the trail and tend to the public garden at the trail head parking lot.
For more information about helping on the trail, contact Trail Manager Gene Gillan. For information about helping with the garden, contact Trail Garden Manager Dot Clause .

Report to the trailhead parking lot on East Henrietta Road, between Ward Hill Road and Rush-Henrietta Townline Road.

Things to bring:
Drinking water, appropriate clothing (rain or shine), work gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirts; hand shears, loppers, pruners, shovels, trowels, pruning saws, rakes, wheelbarrows; chain saws, motorized trimmers, and gas leaf blowers (with gas). Motorized tools are to be used only by the owner. You are responsible for keeping track of your gear and using it safely.

Things not to bring:
Pets, unsafe equipment, motorized vehicles (tractors/ATVs)

If you can’t come on Clean-Up Day but would like to help on other days or in other ways, please visit the Volunteer page. We can always use help throughout the year.

Caution: There is a good chance you will encounter poison ivy, bees' nests, and other insects while clearing the trail. Please dress accordingly and come equipped with any remedies you may need.
