 Monthly Volunteer Work Days
Join us as we work on various trail projects. Typically the third Saturday of the month. Projects range from trail maintenance, brush clearing, tree planting and much more. It's a fun way to get outdoors, get some exercise and help a great cause! If possible, bring loppers, handsaws, weedeaters, heavy rakes, work gloves, etc. Watch here for dates and details.

"Frisco Breakfast Club" - Meets at every Thursday at 8AM at Ziggies on Kearney, just east of Kansas Expressway. After eating, they depart at 9AM to carpool up to the Frisco Highline Trail to work on various projects of the day. Bring tools if you can. RSVP to Terry at 864-2014.

 September Work Day
Saturday, September 20 (8:30am-Noon)
 In partnership with Toyota's "Together Green" campaign with the National Audubon Society, we'll be working with local chapter, the Greater Ozarks Audubon Society, on the Valley Water Mill nature trail, that goes around the lake, and we will connect the neighborhood to the South Dry Sac Greenway. If possible, bring limbloppers, hand pruners and saws, chainsaw, workgloves, water bottle, bug spray.

Bonus: We'll have a cookout lunch for volunteers at noon, compliments of Audubon!

To get there: From I-44 and Glenstone, head north on Glenstone. Turn right (east) at the light on Valley Water Mill Road. When you get to the "T", turn left (north) and shortly you will see the lake and dam on your right. Turn right (east) and then right again into the parking lot. (Watch for sign.)

If you can, RSVP to 864-2015, or else just come on out!
