Big Donation from Little River Trail Run

The 2013 Little River Trail Run generated an all time record donation from the Trailheads. A check for $8,000 was presented to park staff on February 11th. This was the eighth annual running of the trails and with this year's check the total amount donated to the park over the years exceeds $40,000.

Among other items, the park plans to use some of the money to purchase a zero-turn mower to replace its current mower which is over 8 years old. They will also be able to get a trailer for hauling larger peices of equipment.

The Trailheads also presented a check for $1,000 to the Triangle Offroad Cyclists (TORC), the local mountain bike club that helps maintain the mountain bike trails at Little River.



 

 In addition to the monetary donations, the Trailheads also purchased carbon offsets from two different companies. Over the years, the equivalent of 23,000 trees have been planted with the offsets that have been purchased.
