Trail Cleanup Day – Saturday, February 21, 2015
This was an idea inspired on our Facebook page. Some riders have been noticing some issues with trash, animal waste and broken glass on some of our trails. Instead of complaining, we are going to take action by organizing our first trail cleanup day.
Date: Saturday, February 21. 2015
Time: 9:00 am (earlier if you choose) – 11:00 am (later if you choose)
Location: Spring Creek Trail parking lot (southeast corner of Renner Road and Central)
Who: All volunteers who care about our trails
Since this is our first attempt at this, we’re going to keep it simple, starting at one location. Everybody is welcome to jump in and feel free to help out as long as they can. We’re working with the City of Richardson to get some supplies, so stay tuned for details on that. For now, here are some suggestions of things you can bring:
– Gloves
– Brooms
– Dustpans (for broken glass)
– Shovels
– Trash Bags (in case we can’t get any from the city)
I’ll be riding my bike out, so it’ll be interesting to see how I get my tools strapped on. Obviously, if it rains, we’ll postpone to another date – so keep an eye out here and on our Facebook page for updates.
If this is a successful event, we will schedule more cleanup days throughout other parts of the city.

Do people that drive cars have to have work parties to clean and fix their rights of way?
Of course not. However, I’ve heard of stories where people have repaired the roads and potholes near their homes.
Like with us, they wanted faster action than what the city could provide with their resources.
