Lehigh Township Rails to Trails invites you to explore Indian Trail Park in a new way 1-4 p.m. June 25. Group members will be showcasing the creation of a path through the woods.

In order to do so, they had to remove a lot of trash, smooth out some of the terrain and spread gravel. Along the path, you will now be able to identify some native trees, as well as invasive plants, look for birds and see the specially created planting areas.

Children can look for “caterpillars” and win a prize. They can also do leaf rubbings and paint rocks. An outdoor specialist will be present to help kids of all ages find small organisms that live in Indian Creek. There will be other activities for all ages as well.

If you are interested in the history of Indian Trail Park, and of the township, visit the Lehigh Township Historical Centre, adjacent to the park. You’ll be amazed at what you will find there.

To help the group finance projects in the park and elsewhere, a raffle of gift cards and baskets to area stores will be held. Some perennials will also be available for purchase. Look for the group at pavilion 2 and at the woods.

Heavy rain will postpone the event to a date later in the summer.

VBS is open to all children ages 3 (and potty trained) to those completing sixth grade in 2022.

Get your appetites ready to swallow the good news!
