We hope everyone who has visited the Nation Ford Greenway trail at Springfield on AO Jones Blvd., has enjoyed their hikes or biking. Last week while going on a walk, I found an extremely large tree had fallen across our trail, not far from the parking area. A maintenance crew will be coming out to clean up the trail and remove the tree. You will literally have to climb over the tree - sorry to see it come down, it was a beauty. Also, we are having new trail directional signs printed and should have these installed this month. This Nation Ford Greenway trail is always new when I visit at different times of the year. The flowers change, the grasses are new, and I never know what the wildlife will be up to. I had a very large Whitetail deer run out across the trail in front of me - just beautiful!! Please come out with your camera and be ready for the unexpected. Be sure to bring lots of water, a hat, and a walking stick is a good idea. The trail is 4 miles round trip. This fall we will be kicking-off our new Friends of the Nation Ford Greenway campaign. We are looking forward to meeting new members and volunteer to help us continue making the Nation Ford Greenway a wonderful trail for our community and visitors. If you would like to be put on our email mailing list please contact us at Outdoors@NationFordGreenway.com. You will receive trail updates and event notifications. Happy Hiking!!
