If you haven\u2019t been there take a break and visit. You may even see wild turkeys on the way in. The park will be a lovely place for Master Gardeners to spend time volunteering. Much of the existing hiking trail just needs some raking and marking. Sue has plans for 3 hour work days and designs to use more native plants and identification signs to add educational value to the trails. <span id=\"m_-581859397370153367yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488807469731_5218\">But for now some leaf raking in the dappled shade will do much to preserve the already existing trail <\/span><span id=\"m_-581859397370153367yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488807469731_5220\">and make it user friendly and easy to follow.\u00a0<\/span>This is going to be a really fun project for Master Gardeners!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"m_-581859397370153367yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488807469731_5214\">Sue will have a consultation with a <\/span><span id=\"m_-581859397370153367yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488807469731_5217\">member of the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail Association to plan and mark a new section of the trail to make it more accessible to the office.
