This coming Saturday September 18th, Roanoke is celebrating National Public Lands Day by starting construction on a new trail on Mill Mountain!

 Join fellow trail enthusiasts for the work day hosted by Roanoke Parks and Recreation.

 For this workday, we will be meeting at the Riverland Road Trailhead for Mill Mountain (Star Trailhead), Roanoke, VA.

 Lunch will be provided for volunteers from Panera Bread by the City of Roanoke Parks and Recreation Department.  

 This opportunity is open to those over 18, or under 18 with direct parent/guardian supervision.

 We will be working on a new trail (Corridor 6 from the Mill Mountain Trails Plan) which is a short hike from the trailhead.  Please wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and clothing that is OK to get dirty.  Bug spray is strongly encouraged since there is a lot of brush in the area and ticks/chiggers are common in the woods.  Please bring a refillable water bottle as we will have water coolers provided but no containers to drink out of.  Tools are provided. The workday starts at 9am and goes until 3pm, but can be come and go according to your schedule.  Please sign up in advance so we have an idea on lunch by registering at this link:
