Montour Trail-Letter

Volume 12, Issue 6

November/December, 2001

For his Eagle Scout project, Boy Scout Adam Miller of Mt. Lebanon's Troop 65, organized a group of volunteers to prepare about 1.25 miles of former railroad right-of-way for construction of Montour Trail. This trail segment will link the Arrowhead Trail in Peters Township to the Library Trestle crossing over Route 88 in South Park. The work involved removing trash and trimming trees. The engineering design of this trail segment and the decking on the adjacent trestle is partially completed and construction possibly will begin in 2002.

Anyone who would like to perform volunteer work for the Montour Trail Council is urged to contact Paul McKeown at 412-835-6692 or at mckeownp@libcom.com. In addition to physical labor, other volunteer jobs include fundraising, staffing informational booths at events, writing newsletter articles, marketing, engineering and legal work.
