Volunteers will cut weeds and

small brush blocking trails and scenic overlooks and install color-coded

markers to make the trails more visible and accessible. The September

2003 work party drew several dozen adults and teenagers.

"The trails at Line Creek

offer scenic views of the stream, rock shoals and a forested ridge line.

Clearing and identifying the easy and more challenging trail sections

will help more people enjoy this great natural park" said SCT Executive

Director Abby Jordan.

Southern Conservation Trust

is a 10-year Peachtree City-based nonprofit organization that owns and

manages over 600 acres of environmentally sensitive land in Fayette County.

SCT enhances its holdings with trails, overlooks and re-introduction of

native species and also hosts environmental programs at the Flat Creek

Nature Area. As a regional land trust SCT works with willing landowners

to provide options for protecting scenic open space that benefit the greater

community and can offer tax advantages for the landowner.

Work party participants are

asked to bring work gloves and wear sturdy shoes. Shovels and loppers

will come in handy too. Volunteers should check in at 1 p.m. at the Nature

Area parking lot, accessible by a gravel drive off the Days Inn parking

lot. For more information please call SCT at 770-486-7774 or email [email protected].
