Genesee Valley Greenway work day set for April 26

The Genesee Valley Greenway will be full of activity on Saturday, April 26, as volunteers undertake a variety of projects in Chili, Caledonia, York, and Nunda.

The public is invited to join with Friends of the Genesee Valley Greenway members, Greenway Trail Adopters and community groups to contribute to a spring clean up on the multi-use trail. In Chili, volunteers can meet at 9 a.m. at the Greenway's Brook Road parking lot, located on the north side of Brook Road about one-eighth of a mile west of Scottsville Road. "We will concentrate on clearing brush east of the parking lot. The woods surrounding the area needs to have litter and building materials removed and brought roadside. Bring clippers, loppers, hand saws, gloves and any other tools you consider useful." Pat Tindale, chairperson of the Chili-Wheatland Greenway committee, said. For information call Jim or Pat Tindale at 247-4361.

The Genesee Valley Greenway is a 90-mile natural and historic resource corridor that is open to the public year round for hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling. It follows the route of the former Genesee Valley Canal (1840-1878) and Pennsylvania Railroad, Rochester Branch (1882-1963). Fifty-two of the ninety miles of greenway are now open for use. Maps and additional information are available by calling the Friends of the Genesee Valley Greenway at 658-2569 or visiting the website at www.fogvg.org.
