Looking for volunteers!
The ECPF and Westside Trail committee are looking for volunteers to join 2 subcommittees who are assisting with collaborative work on the new trail.
- The Arts Committee is working with local arts organizations and artists to coordinate and deliver on art installations for the trail. While the park maintains final approval authority, there is much work to be done in soliciting projects, reviewing artists, and helping to bring the artwork to life. Proposed projects include a main sculpture at the ADA trail head, park benches, trail markers, wood carvings and other opportunities.
- The Education Committee will work with park staff regarding educational signage for the trail, potential podcast content, as well as coordinating with local schools, boys and girls clubs, scouting groups, and other potential partners to encourage increased visitation and engagement.
The first formal meetings of the Arts and Education committees will be held on Saturday, August 2 in the library of the Earth Discovery Center at the park. The Arts Committee will convene at 9 am, and the Education Committee will immediately follow at 10 am.
If you’re interested, and can’t make the meeting please contact Lou Ann Baker at louannbaker24@gmail.com.
