In-Town Trails Work-Day
The ESOA has scheduled a work-day for Sunday, April 27 at 1:00pm. Participants will meet at Kansas St. (off the upper-historic loop) and will be working on the section of trail above the old limestone steps near the Little Red Schoolhouse site. The focus of the work-day is to remove gravel from a filled in drainage ditch and re-distributing it on the trail. This work-day is part of an E.S. Parks and Rec. project which includes improving the trail all the way down to Harding Spring. Please bring any tools that you have ie: shovels, picks, rakes, loppers, etc.

The program aired Friday 4/18 at 6pm, but the program will air again tomorrow, Sunday April 20th at 9am. The program will be archived for access on line soon and we’ll try to get a link on the blog.

Land Trust Day Hike
On Sunday April 13, twelve participants met North of Eureka Springs for a hike on a 154-acre land trust. Sites ecountered on the hike included beautiful bluff-lines a “pivot rock” and a running spring. This area could be the site of a future ESOA service project focused on opening up the existing trail by cutting overgrowth and downed trees out of the corridor. The trails are pedestrian only by request of the property owner, so no bikes would be allowed. This could be a great place, close to town, that folks could visit for some of a little quiet and solitude.
