Last Saturday local volunteers began to create a new section of the Charlotte Town Trail along State Park Rd. connecting to Mt. Philo State Park
Greg Renallo, owner of Teacher’s Tree Service, donated the use of his enormous wood chipper, saws and professional level skills. He generously brought and paid for his entire regular crew! Please support Teacher's!!!
Our group of veteran trail builders made quick work of the hundreds of small trees and brush along the designated trail route. Big shout out to Steve Kantor, Gary Franklin, Jack Pilla, Kristen Lundy, Elon Hugo and Steve Wisbaum.
Snacks were cheerfully provided by the neighboring Wannop family, who will be safer growing up here when they can stay off the road

Winter has settled in early this year, and the sliding on Mt. Philo has been terrific. Borrow a Hammerhead from our collection for a fast ride with great steering control.
