The 2.3 miles from Trucksville to Lower Demunds Road in Dallas will be under construction in 2006. In addition, the group has progressed in their plans to run the trail from Lower Demunds Road to College Misericordia. “We've found problems and so- lutions over the last eight years,” said Rimple. “But we are very proud of the fact that we have five miles.” The next section will be the most difficult as the trail winds its way through Dallas and cross- es Route 309. “It just takes a while to develop a long stretch of the path,” said Bill Leandri, president of the board of directors for the Back Mountain Trail. “It is going well, though. It is a great thing and I am sure it will be enjoyed for many generations in the future.” A recent development has members of the association very excited. “Bill Grant, the new owner of the property behind the Sunoco station (on Route 309) wants to meet with us,” said Albrecht. “He wants it to be a ‘woodsy’ develop- ment and he plans to set aside TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO/BOB ESPOSITO Student volunteers from College Misericordia plant trees and shrubs during a cleanup of the Back Mountain Trail several years ago. A leaf cleanup is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 13. “We've found that with the gradual and gentle grade of much of the trail, leaves block up the drainage areas and cause back-up drainage problems.” Mark Albrecht Back Mountain Trail Council president some of that land for public ac- cess.” The trail could travel through the area that was once Fernbrook Park. Anyone who wants to help with the cleanup should call Al- brecht at 696-3409. You can also report to the former municipal building on Carverton Road at 11 a.m. Nov. 13. Students in local Key Clubs, SADD, confirmation classes and Scouting programs, which require community servic- es hours, are especially invited to join the effort. “It is a great way to do some community service and we keep very good logs of volunteer ser- vice hours because we get credit for them towards some of the matching grant programs,” said Albrecht.
