Cleanup Planned At Rail Trail

A Community Cleanup Day will be held at the Enola Low Grade Rail Trail in Martic and Conestoga townships on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to noon. Community members who would like to help should meet at the Enola Low Grade Rail Trail parking area at the intersection of Red Hill Road and Marticville Road (Route 324) in Pequea.

Volunteers will work along the trail and on both sides of the trestle. Tasks will include general weeding, trash and debris removal, minor tree and brush trimming and some mulching.

Martic and Conestoga townships have been working to rebuild the Martic Forge trestle bridge, as the bridge deck burned in a 2018 arson. Completion of the work, along with the reconstruction of the crosswalk and trail approaches at the bottom of Red Hill Road, will enable a grand opening of the trestle bridge and a currently closed portion of the rail trail.

The opening of the trail will connect Conestoga Township through Martic Township to Providence Township and thereby open a continuous 20-mile section of the rail trail. The work is projected to be completed in late October.
