Calling all able bodies interested in helping build a new sustainable trail at Thomas on Sunday October 25 from 1-5 pm.

Friends of Blackwater has been working with the International Mountain Biking Association, the Town of Thomas and the WV Volunteer and Community Service Organization to plan and build a series of new hikeable and bikeable trails in the Thomas Park. (Above the dam) The weather forecast on Sunday is calling for Highs in the 50s with partly sunny skies - great weather for trail building. Rich Edwards of IMBA will be there to guide us in our efforts. This is the second work day along the trail that will eventually include several connecting trails within the park. LOTS OF HANDS WILL BE NEEDED!
