Join the Friends of the I-275 Metro Trail for an Earth Day trail cleanup on Sunday, April 22. With more
and more Michiganders choosing a “green” mode of transportation, the Metro Trail promises to be a busy place during the upcoming season, so we’re working hard to spruce up the trail. The group will be working in Canton Township on the section of trail north of Van Born. Meet us between 9 a.m. and noon in the driveway on the north side of Van Born just east of I-275. There is no Van Born exit, so you’ll need to get off the freeway at either Michigan Ave. or Ecorse Rd., and take Haggerty or
Hannan to Van Born – then look for our sign.
We’ll be working on litter cleanup and clearing out winter
washouts, so bring flat shovels, scrapers, pick-up sticks, stiff-bristled brooms and metal leaf rakes. A gas-powered leaf blower and tools for pruning vegetation would be a big help.
