Trail Ranger Cleanup Events Are Underway

Sunday morning, a crew of eleven eager neighbors and trail lovers joined our Trail Ranger team for our first trail cleanup of the summer. In just under three hours, we tackled some big projects to ensure that the Met Branch Trail we have today always offers a smooth ride, clean sight lines, and lasting artistic flair. Read on for a photo recap and a look at what’s next. For our first trail cleanup event, we focussed our efforts on the busy southern section of the Met Branch Trail from New York Ave. to Franklin St. Thanks to regular attention from our Trail Rangers and city maintenance crews, the trail itself is in excellent condition, so we trained our eyes on  uncovering and highlighting some of the incredible murals that make this 1.5 mile section such a pleasure to travel on.
