WANTED

The Nature Trail Committee is looking for public spirited people!

Volunteers are needed to work with the Nature Trail Committee in continuing the trail extension of the Nature Trail.

To refresh your memories, The Nature Trail is located in the back of Cypress Park. The trail began as a boarded walk through a maze of Cypress trees, fern and other woodsy growth continuing over towards Stevenson's Pond. Benches were provided along the walkway for relaxing and observing those magnificent Cypress trees, birds and wildlife.

Through the years the Nature Trail has taken many twists and turns and now actually runs from Stevenson's Pond to the banks of the scenic Pocomoke River. The newer extensions connect to the original trail and wind their way through the more dense swamp. The trail is also handicap accessible.

Here is where volunteers are needed!! YOUR HELP is needed -as Friends of the Nature Trail- with continuing this dream and keeping the Nature Trail alive. More work needs to be done.

If you are an adult and you love the outdoors but can't seem to pull yourself away from the recliner to take a walk here is your excuse to get out into the fresh air! If you have experience in carpentry I'm sure your assistance would be appreciated in this rewarding work. You don't have to have experience - just be a volunteer.

Ask others in your church, your local organizations, or ask your neightbor to volunteer with you.

Let's see this dream that the Nature Trail Committee began a few years ago goes even farther than they ever thought possible.

I'll have another post in a couple of days giving you information on who to contact. But until then let's see how many wonderful Pocomoke people we can get to volunteer.

VDOT Needs Volunteers To Mow Roadside Grass

The Virginia Department of Transportation has an idea on how to save some money but they need some volunteers on four wheels.

Liz Hansen showed us how the grass in her west Mclean neighborhood has grown waist high.

"It used to be a great place where you'd have Fourth of July picnics... tick haven and everything else," said Hansen.

VDOT says $20 million in budget cuts has meant fewer summer mowings and not mowing as far off the street. While it will still make sure motorists can see safely.

VDOT's Jennifer McCord said, "That grass still can be taller than some citizens like to see, especially in their neighborhoods, so now there's a process in place where motorists and citizens can apply to mow those areas."

Volunteers can sign up to mow a specific stretch, similar to the Adopt-A-Highway Program. VDOT will issue safety vests and signs, but that's it. Some say that lack of extra help from VDOT is a problem.

Jonathan Rokita said, "I think it'll be hard for them to find volunteers to bring their own equipment, their own gas, their own time. They've got their own lawns to mow."

"First, they close all the rest stops, then they reopen them and now they're wanting people to mow? I hope they have good insurance," said Barbara Gribble.

Others say, everything's getting cut these days, so why not the grass, too?

Rebecca O'Neill said, "There's nothing wrong with asking for volunteers. They're not being forced to do it."

"If people have the time and the means to, why not?" asked Jean-Jacques DeMontebello.

VDOT says they won't ask for volunteers to mow along major roads and that safety comes first. To get contact someone in your community about mowing the grass for VDOT, call 703-383-VDOT.
