Join us for our first of four highway clean ups of 2024!
Our 2-mile adopted section of Route 366 goes from Pine Tree Road through Varna, the stretch of highway closest to the Cayuga Trail. This is a public service project of Cayuga Trails Club and is one way for us to show our appreciation to the community that provides so much support to hikers.
We’ll provide trash bags, safety vests, trash grabbers, and nitrile gloves, but if you have sturdier work gloves, please bring them. You need have no prior experience.
This is a simple way to donate some volunteer effort to the club, particularly if you are not involved in trail maintenance or other committee activities. It usually takes a bit over one hour to clean up a section, and is not arduous. Your time and effort is always appreciated!
