The Dearborn Park Trail Initiative has begun and we need your help! Dearborn Park is a DeKalb County park partially located within the City of Decatur. Many thanks to the 2 dozen volunteers that helped kick off phase one of the Dearborn Park Trail Initiative on May 31st. We completed over half of the trail in a single day! Over 60 trees were saved from the strangle of english ivy and hundreds of invasive privet plants were removed. Increased animal activity in the space has already been noted, including spotting of deer tracks.
Now it's time to complete the work and we need your help! Please come on out on Saturday, July 12th at 9AM. We will spread wood-chips, remove trash and sticks, cut privet stumps and remove ivy from the trail. The hardest work of cutting the trail has already been done. Now it's time to make it walkable! Pick a tool that you can bring along and we'll provide refreshments and snacks. The event sponsors are CertaPro Painters, the DeKalb County Parks and Recreation Dept., and the City of Decatur Active Living Division. Food & refreshments will be provided. Please bring yard tools, and long sleeve shirts are suggested.
Please meet at the end of West Dearborn Circle, off of Park Drive, off South Candler Street in Decatur.
