Your help is needed!
June 7th is NATIONAL TRAILS DAY. The D&L (Delaware and Lehigh) trail is planning on installing mile markers on improved sections of the trail along the Lehigh. there are three areas where markers will be installed: Freemansburg to Bethlehem, Parryville to Weissport and Walnutport and Slatington. The process is simple but we do need people to execute it.
The D&L will dig three-foot holes for the posts prior to June 7. The D&L also will provide concrete and the hardware that is necessary to attach the signs. What we need is people who are willing to erect the posts, level them and secure them in the concrete, which will be a dry mix that absorbs moisture from the soil. There will not be a need to mix the concrete with water.
Materials will be available the morning of June 7. We have a special need for wheelbarrows in order to take the concrete bags and other materials to the marker sites. In other words, volunteers will get some exercise walking along the trail.
Please contact Dennis Scholl, (Outreach Coordinator Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor),
at dennis@delawareandlehigh.org or call him at 610-923-3548, ext. 225 if you would like to help.
I just put in 10AM but you should check with the coordinator on the time.
Please help with this project. It will be an asset to all trail users. Thanks!
