participating in educational exhibits, trail dedications, gear demonstrations,
instructional workshops and trail work projects.
So why not join the Trails Committee on Saturday, June 7th at the Veterans
Memorial Park in Penfield, from 9 to 12pm, as we help the Penfield Trails
Committee and the Parks' Department spruce up the trail extension located
behind the Penfield Town Hall?

wood chips and rake them out) with equipment provided by the Parks Department.
All you need to bring is water, work gloves, hat, sunscreen, and your stamina.
