Letter to the editor: Thank you Core Trail volunteers
Letter to the editor
There’s a corner along the Core Trail in Steamboat Springs that is often overlooked. At the beginning of last week it was strangled with crabgrass, cottonwood suckers and various invasive weeds.
At the end of last week, columbines, pentstemons, sedums have emerged due to the hard work of Molly, Helen and Emily. These women saw a need and they acted. They didn’t wait for funding or a committee. They have much improved the garden along the trail to the east of Fetcher Pond.
As they have been working from 7:30 to 11 a.m. every morning various dog walkers, runners and cyclists have given them word of encouragement. Some (Brad) have even stopped and pulled weeds.
If you happen upon them this week, let them know that you appreciate their efforts to keep Steamboat beautiful. And if they’re not there, stop and look and enjoy the transformation that they have accomplished. It’s wonderful to see the care that folk in our community give.
