Civic pride for our Centennial Trail calls for better branding, don't you agree?

Recent walks on our Centennial Trail show such dry conditions and the need to mow back weeds in many places that grew quickly this spring. Given this extreme fire danger, our managing jurisdictions must proceed cautiously. As you enjoy the Trail, please keep an eye out for fire danger and call 911 immediately. And, thanks in advance for any garbage cleanup/stewardship you can provide. Hopefully our skies will be back to blue very soon. In the meantime, we remain grateful for the people and organizations dedicated to fire prevention and firefighting!
My best,
Loreen McFaul, Executive Director
