Volunteers Celebrate Winter Trails Day with The Thread and REI
With over 40 volunteers and 70 degree weather, we had a very successful trail workday at the Nation Ford Greenway on Saturday, January 7th. Nearly two tenths of a miles were built in just a few short hours, and REI presented The Thread with a check for $3,738.69 in addition to sponsoring lunch! Funds were raised through REI’s recent “Change for Change” program over the holiday season. Check out photos of the volunteer workday here!
