Trail maintenance day set

The Jefferson County Trails Council is planning its biannual Trail Maintenance Day Saturday.

The work day will be divided in two shifts starting at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Volunteers should meet at the Maasdam Barns.

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the trails council to let event organizers know which shift they plan to attend: Ryan Meyers at 573-489-8516; Stephen Pedrick at 919-5565; or comments@jeffersoncountytrails.org.

In case of rain, volunteers should check the website www.jeffersoncountytrails.org for updates.

The event serves as an opportunity for community members help spruce up the Fairfield Loop Trail. Projects this spring will include: general trimming, cleaning mile markers and general improvements to kiosks.

?This spring?s event is a great way to get the Loop Trail in top condition before RAGBRAI comes to town in July,? said Pedrick, chairman of the Jefferson County Trails Council.
