New Outer Loop Section

60 Different Volunteers – 376 Hours

As part of the Valdese Lakeside Park Master Park Plan, FVR Volunteers have finished the Red Outer Loop Trail — relocating the existing trail off unsustainable logging road, separating a section where Hollipop Mountain Bike Trail and Outer Loop overlap and stretch the trail out to the property boundary.

An excavator was rented with FVR Donor Funds for 14 days and Volunteer Eric Heile was the operator working daily to reach the 80 hours of machine time allotted. Finishers Sam Fitzwater and Johnny Poteat worked most every weekday for a month. 

Other volunteers include 11 different members from the DHS Anchor Club, 30 members of Morganton CORE, Beth Heile, Sam Erwin, Wes Presnell, Howard, Denise C, Ron B, The Darling Family, Debbie T, Bruce, Ken.
