Franklin Woodland Trails Revitalization Workday
Have you ever wondered about the "Franklin Woodland Trails" sign between the Reisterstown Library and the Franklin Elementary School? Have you entered via the trailhead next to walkway between the RUMC parking lot, 246 Main Street, and Reisterstown library parking lot?
Jeanne Andrews, a Certified Master Naturalist, chairs the restoration project of the park and each month meets volunteers at the foot bridge between the parking lots of the library and Reisterstown United Methodist Church to work on repairs and improvements. As a librarian she looked out and saw the potential for this green open space in 2019. With her vision, she came to RIA for support and now chairs the Committee working to bring this wonderful area alive for our town.
Just behind the 200 block of Main Street and library, her volunteers have met since 2019 to revitalization this Open Space area for our town. Each month on the 2nd Saturday, RIA volunteers work to clean up and reclaim this environmental treasure for our community. A Grand Opening Spring was held in 2021.
Come join other volunteers as we revitalize this park for the community. Please bring work gloves and a bottle of water.
Summary of Progress:
Defining the trail was the start of the revitalization .... spreading mulch day required all hands on deck! All volunteers are welcome the 2nd Saturday each month from 9am until noon.
Community Partners have donated mulch to define the trails. Great job was done by volunteers working to lay it down. Now volunteers are defining the trail through the woods and developing the learning and play areas. Come become a part of the team.
