Badger Trail's Root River Trail Hike/Bike 
Spring comes sooner than you think. With busy schedules we need to plan ahead. Please join us on Saturday, April 28, 2008, for the Root River Trail Hike/Bike.  The hike, which is a nice introduction to spring, starts at Scout Lake Park at 8:00 a.m., and follows the Root River Parkway through Greenfield, Glendale, Hales Corners and West Allis to Greenfield Park. This is an opportunity for youth and adults alike to get some exercise and share some quality time. A parkway cleanup as you hike provides an opportunity for citizen stewardship or as a service project. A beautiful collector’s patch is provided with the each registration fee. Please contact Cary Merkl at (414) 453-1960 for additional information and registration material and visit our web site at: www.badgertrails.org.
