National Trails Day at Bright Leaf State National Area - by Dave De Groot
As with the past several years, CTTT participated in a National Trails Day event. The NTD program was originated by the American Hiking Society and is held on the first Saturday in June each year.
This year’s Austin event at Bright Leaf State Natural Area was sponsored by CTTT, the Friends of Bright Leaf, and REI. The Friends of Bright Leaf organized interpretive hikes at the 216 acre future-park located near Mount Bonnell in Austin. CTTT members staffed demonstration stations and discussed trail maintenance with hikers as they passed by. REI provided some nice giveaways and everyone got goodies from Upper Crust Bakery and Whole Foods - YUM.
