Across the nation, Celebrate Trails Day is the day dedicated to celebrating local trails and kicking off the trail season.
Come see us at the Wysor St. Depot (700 E. Wysor St., Muncie, IN 47305) between 11 am and 1 pm as we begin another great trail season on the Cardinal Greenway!
From 11-12, families with children are welcome to participate in a Celebrate Trails scavenger hunt and other trail users are encouraged to walk, run, or ride the Kitselman/McCulloch loop, which highlights not only the Cardinal Greenway, but also the City of Muncie’s White River Greenway.
Snacks will be available back at the Depot from 12 to 1.

There will even be opportunity for hands-on restoration through removal of invasives and replanting of native plant species.
