🛠️ Spotted Turtle Trail Build Day – Help Create the Path! 🥾

🌿🥾 Help Build a Brand-New Trail—Join the Effort! 🥾🌿

Spend a few rewarding hours giving back to our parks while helping bring the Spotted Turtle Trail to life at Community Park!

The heavy lifting is already done—huge thanks to the Fairborn Parks Department for carving out a wide trail corridor. Now it's our turn to add the finishing touches! We'll be raking and clearing away branches, sticks, and leftover chipper debris to create a smooth, walkable treadway.

This is your chance to be part of something lasting—a brand-new trail (Phase 5) scheduled to open in June!

🙌 Why volunteer?
• Make a visible impact in just a few hours
• Be among the first to shape a new trail
• Enjoy fresh air, teamwork, and a little dirt under your boots
• Admire native spring wildflowers
