Students from Holy Trinity, along with their teacher, were spotted cleaning up the Simcoe end of the Trail, as part of their Earth Day activities. Celebrated every year on April 22, Earth Day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

The LVTA recently completed  “bushing” the entire trail (approx. 20 km when you count both sides)  thanks to Dan, Scott, Willy Misner and some moral support from Paul. Thanks also to Mark Boerkamp, Norfolk County, for providing this service.

If you’re out on the trail this summer, keep an eye out for the new informational signs. The new signs are visually stunning, full of photos and information about the rich history of the trail.
