On this special day, the Mendon Foundation will be leading a team of volunteers to assist with trail work on the western end of the Lehigh Valley Trail in Scottsville and Caledonia. A great way to enjoy the outdoors, contribute to the community, and make some new friends! We will meet at 9:00am at the Mendon Foundation’s Lehigh Valley Trail parking lot on West River Road. Please contact John Farrell, Lehigh Valley Trail Operations Manager at LVT@mendonfoundation.org to notify him that you will be participating, special tool / equipment needs, as well as any other questions you may have. Everyone is welcome. We always encourage you to wear boots and work gloves, and bring a bottle of water.
