Many thanks to the 5 hardworking volunteers from Columbia Gas of PA and MD that spent the day on Friday, May 8, helping the Land Trust to build trails at the Otto and Magdalene Ackermann Nature Preserve in North Huntingdon Township!  Thanks to the hard work of these volunteers the trail up to the quarry was completed!  Columbia volunteers also helped with trailbuilding at the Ackermann Preserve during the United Way 2017 Day of Caring.
