POSTINGS

First United Methodist Church has included a trash pickup along the Redbud Trail, formerly known as the BNSF or 17th St Corridor in their annual Spring Fling, Saturday, May 3rd. This activity is open to anyone wanting to join them.

The mission of Wichita's First United Methodist's 2008 Spring Fling and related clean up project is, among other things to

  • educate people about the trail and its potential benefits including the nurturing of healthy lifestyles and physical fitness;

  • to advocate for both trail and its benefits;

  • to bear witness to a good stewardship of community resources, the natural environment, and preservation of national, state and local heritage by demonstrating the desire to keep this trail free of trash and neglect.

The plan is to leave FUMC parking lot for the trail at 9:00am and wrap it up by 11:45am. You will need work gloves and personal water bottle. Trash bags will be provided.

For more info call Harold Kieler at 682-4196.

Meet at Gerrard’s Restaurant in Goddard at 7:30 am for food or 8 am for assignments. We have jobs for every ability and desire! There is always trash to pick up at intersections as well as weeds to pull by hand to get the roots out. We would love to extend our first open mile but need volunteers to make this happen. Feel free to bring your wider tire bike to ride the west end of the trail at the conclusion of our work! Bring your camera, wildlife is in its natural habitat and usually quite visible. Bring work gloves, personal water needs, and chain saw or trimmers if you've got 'em!

Prairie Sunset Trail is OPEN!
TRAIL BENEFITS
Everyone wins with the preservation of transportation corridors and the development of linear trails: the nation retains a vital resource, the public gains a place to safely walk or ride, the railroads retain the right to restore rail service in the future, small towns can receive an economic boon, and adjacent landowners obtain access to a recreational facility and increased property values.

By helping to preserve Kansas' heritage and recreational opportunities, you will be giving your children and grandchildren an irreplaceable gift - living history. If the linear trails project cannot be kept on track, so to speak, the corridors may be lost forever. That is why Prairie Travelers needs your help.
