LGP Trail Work - 7/14/19 - Reroute and Repairs
Annie's Playground Trail Work - Wednesday, July 24th
Ecotone, in partnership with Harford County Parks and Recreation, is once again participating in the Adopt-A-Park program and becoming a park steward of Annie’s Playground located in Fallston, MD. Join Ecotone, GUMBO, and the Harford County Running Club (Run Harford), as we continue our goal of building over six miles of sustainable, multi-use trails at the park.
If you would like to attend, please meet us at the lower gravel parking lot (located on Smith Lane, you make a left before reaching the main parking lot and playground at the end of the road) and be prepared to use hand tools. Gloves, outdoor footwear, and insect repellent are recommended. Trail building will involve labor and a use of a wheelbarrow and is appropriate for everyone ages 12 and up. Please bring your 2019 signed waiver with you for a one-time submission. Waivers can be found here.

Gunpowder Mill Racers Youth Mountain Biking
Season Two is here for our local youth mountain biking team, the Gunpowder Mill Racers! Our first year in the Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League was a huge success and we're looking to build on that in our second year! We got a lot of kids out on bikes and taught them the skills to be successful at mountain biking and most importantly, that you can have a blast doing it! Check out the Youth page for some pics from last season. Our season is just underway, so if you're interested in riding, have kids interested in riding or would like to help out, please email us at gunpowdermillracers@gmail.com for more information. Be sure to also check out the MICL website to see what it's all about. |
