Pre-College Programs and Bridge students Adopt-a-Trail
Staff members from Pre-College Programs and five Bridge students got together on Monday June 2, 2008 in an effort to help keep Fayetteville green and healthy. PCP has officially adopted Frisco Trail, and unofficially Tanglewood Branch, and we cleaned the trail and creek on Monday afternoon. In those four hours, we picked up old tires, lawn chairs, grills, styrofoam bits, plastic of every size, shape and color, cutlery, tubing, glass and plastic bottles, aluminum cans and many other objects that had found their way onto and into our natural landscape. The group of 22 people collected about 25 large bags full of garbage! For more information about Adopt-a-Trail programs, please read below.
 
Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trails programs are part of the City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation volunteer program. Every organization that choses to adopt a park or a trail will have its name installed at the adopted facility. For more information regarding this program, please refer to the following website:
