Trail Maintenance Workday

For the past several years, the Friends of Royal Lake has organized periodic days when neighborhood volunteers have worked on maintenance of the trail that goes around Royal Lake.

Neighborhood volunteers, supervised by the Friends of Royal Lake (FORL), are needed to do this sort of trail maintenance because the Fairfax County Parks Authority (FCPA) only has enough staff to deal with major trail work, such as replacement of deteriorating bridges. However, the FCPA provides all needed materials, such as crushed stones, and it approves all trail work projects before the FORL commits to them.

All age groups are welcome. If you have them, bring shovels, rakes, tampers, and especially wheelbarrows. Otherwise, just bring yourself.
