[pct-l] Leave a trace :-)

(Sorry for the cross posting)

Hey all..just a reminder, it is National Trails Day this Saturday.  If you have the time, taking part in a trail project would be great thing
for any lover of the outdoors to do. If you do not live near a long distance hiking trail, I am sure there is an open space area, a city park,
local nature preserve, etc. that would love a hand. 

The American Hiking Society has a great website that list some events in various states:
http://www.americanhiking.org/NTD.aspx

Other places for finding an event:

All events aren't listed, but the links  do give a good starting place. As mentioned, many local orgs have events that may not even be on the first lists (I'm doing a Colorado Trail project that is not listed, for example).

So here's a chance to enjoy a pretty area, do something rewarding and get good hiking karma by leaving a trace. :)
