Work Days At The Park, 2001. . . .
July 28, 2001, Alliance members Peggy Hart, Byrnda Read, Debra Lacomette, Carolyn Delaney, John Barber, and Jerry Rhodes got together and erected signs purchased with grant money from the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation. Trail markers were also put up where needed to guide users of the White trail.

Only hikers are allowed in the Lucius Burch, Jr. Wildlife Area. The White Trail skirts around the Lucius Burch, Jr. Wildlife Area and connects back up with the Blue and Yellow Trails as they exit the restricted area. Signs showing that the White Trail is open to Hikers, Bikers, and Horses were added to existing signage where possible, and erected free standing where necessary.
Where the Yellow Trail enters the Lucius Burch, Jr. Wildlife Area, a sign was added showing that Horses, Bikers, must go right. Hikers may also go to the right.
Where the Yellow Trail exits the Lucius Burch, Jr. Wildlife Area on the West side, a wooden bridge lacking a center support beam is unsafe for horses to cross. A warning sign was placed on the bridge.
At the Trailhead off Walnut Grove Rd, a sign was added to the existing signs directing Horses and Bikers to follow the White Trail.
At the end of the day, workers were tired, but proud of what was accomplished!
