Paul Henry Trail
We Need Your Help! Join the Trail Patrol.
Have you walked the Kentwood section of the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail and noticed walkers, rollerbladers and bikers in bright yellow jackets with "Trail Patrol" written on the back? Our Trail Patrollers are not enforcers but keepers of the trail, trained to observe, record and report any trail needs or abuse and to administer basic first aid. We will train you in all of these areas. Volunteers are needed to help us keep the trail clean and safe. If this is something you feel you can help us with, please contact Kendall, at 656-5276 to set up a meeting.
This program is done on a volunteer basis, in your free time
