On Saturday 6/6, we'll have a special event on the Major Taylor Trail at 111th St. Join us from 11 am to 1 pm for a ribbon cutting to celebrate a new temporary art installation and a look at a natural area restoration in progress. 

This is a family friendly event where you can see see Holding Space by Chicago-based artist Nnenna Okore, learn more about the new natural area along the trail south of 111th, make some art of your own, and enjoy some light refreshments with your neighbors.

If you're not familiar with the location, here's a map link.

Major Taylor Trail clean-up workday on Sat. 4/25

On Saturday 4/25 (9 am to noon), Friends of the Major Taylor Trail welcome all who would like to help with our Earth Day trail clean-up. We're meeting on the trail just north of 95th. If you are coming by car, please drive into the 95th/Ashland Jewel parking and look for our tent (see photo below) on the west side of the parking lot next to the trail. 

Please dress for yard work. If you have work gloves, please bring them. There will be some gloves available for use but it's not an infinite supply. 

Registration link is here. It's helpful if you register so we have some idea of how many people to expect.
