Volunteers are needed for an upcoming trail workday at Foothills Equestrian Nature Center. Come join the FENCE Trail Crew for a trail cleanup session on Wednesday, Dec. 14 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. We will be working beside the garden at the center of the paved Wildwoods Trail.

The work will include invasive plant removal as well as the removal of some of the accumulated deadfall and debris. The fall and winter seasons allow greater visibility and access for doing this type of work. Participants may pick up some ideas as to how to maintain trails on their own properties. Please bring sturdy shoes, gloves, water, and your favorite hand tool.

FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon. For more information visit fence.org or call 828-859-9021.
