Volunteers are needed this Saturday morning for clean up of the bike/walk trails at Fort Scott’s Gunn Park Trails.

“We need to clean flood debris from the trails,” said Frank Halsey, who spearheads the trail volunteers.

“This is a post-winter clean-up,” he said.

Community members are encouraged to help with this volunteer program to keep the trails in top shape.

“We will meet at 9 a.m. at the main gate,” Halsey said. “The clean-up won’t go past noon.”

“Even if people can come for an hour, that is helpful,” he said.

Trail clean-up volunteers are encouraged to bring rakes, gloves, and boots.

The trails are for bicyclists and walkers.

“No horses, they are hard on trails,” Halsey said.

The volunteers have built an eight-mile trail in Fort Scott’s largest park, Gunn Park.

There are seven different trailheads for trail users to enter or exit onto the trail that parallels the Marmaton River in sections.
