Kingston Land Trust Rail Trail Committee Hosts Successful Clean-Up of the Kingston Point Rail Trail

By Kingston Land Trust, on June 6th, 2011%

I can see clearly now. The Kingston Point Rail Trail.

As part of National Trails Day and Hudson River Day, we had very successful cleanup on Saturday as we tackled another stretch of the rail trail from Delaware Avenue down into the neighborhood. It will take several more cleanups to break through to the waterfront and to open it up past the tunnel to Midtown but this was a big step! Thanks to those that were able to find time during a very busy weekend. We will be in touch soon with the next cleanup date. In the meantime, you can follow this LINK to view before, during and after pictures of the site with a map geolocating the pictures to give you an idea of the area where we worked. We look forward to seeing you at a future cleanup!

Best regards,

The Kingston Land Trust Rail Trail Committee and the Kingston Land Trust
