Streamside Trail in Mercersburg
Donation protected
A Streamside Trail for Mercersburg -
Where History and Ecology meet!
What will funds donated here support?
Our $150,000 goal will allow our non-profit organization to purchase the materials needed to build a handicap accessible trail for walkers, strollers, and cyclists. Volunteers will help to build the trail. Your donation will help make Mercersburg a more vibrant active and connected community!
Embracing this trail area and stream will help preserve Mercersburg's early history. The trail will traverse the area where Mercersburg first began as a mill town. Building the trail will also help the community revitalize the stream.
Building of the trail includes:
The restoration of natural wooded and field habitats with educational signage including both histroical and ecological information.
A gazebo and seating areas for wildlife observation.
Streamside rebuilding and storm water management where needed as part of the a stream quality awareness and long term stream revitalization project.
