Picture This - Day of Service Clean-up of the Metropolitan Branch Trail

Below are the before and after pictures from the trail clean up event that happened the morning of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, January 16, 2012. The before pictures were taken on January 10, 2012.

Co-sponsored by the Student Conservation Association, DDOT, and the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, students and volunteers worked together to clear invasive species, mulch newly planted trees, clear and brush the foot path that runs parallel to the main paved trail, and conduct trash pick-up and removal.
