WOODRIDGE — Come out and celebrate National Trails Day with the Sullivan O&W Rail Trail Alliance on Saturday, June 3rd at 9 AM on the historic O&W Rail Trail between Woodridge and Fallsburg. The trail clean-up event will gather and begin at the trailhead at 269 River Road, Woodridge. Trash bags will be provided to volunteers.

National Trails Day is an annual event sponsored by the American Hiking Society during which communities gather to promote trail advocacy and service. The Sullivan O&W Rail Trail Alliance uses the day to promote the trail and foster stewardship through clean-up events in the spirit of the national day’s tagline “A Day of Service for Hometown Trails and the People Who Love Them.”

An additional trail clean-up event will be hosted in Liberty by the Liberty Middle School Class of 2027, National Junior Honor Society, and the Liberty Middle School Wellness Committee; along with other community partners. The Liberty event starts at 10 AM at the Bridge & Tunnel Brewery, 50 Lake Street Liberty.

“The Sullivan O&W Rail Trail is a trail for everyone,” said Heather Jacksy, from Sullivan County Planning and member of the Alliance. “National Trails Day is part of a year-long series of seasonal events.” Visit the event Facebook page at bit.ly/NTDSullivan or call (845) 807-0531 for more information.

The Sullivan O&W Rail Trail Alliance grew out of the 2019 Sullivan O&W Rail Trail Feasibility Study and is a partnership of local government entities, non-profits, and volunteers which serve as the stewards for the trail.
