Help needed
Eldred Township’s Mock Park trail is approximately 1.5 mile long through woods and fields and surprises. It gives those who make it to the top visual delights, including a stunning view of the Delaware Water Gap.
This winter has been especially hard on trees and a few are down on the trail at Mock Park. In addition, the trail needs a general tidying, removal of branches and brush, trimming, some raking, etc.
No day or time had been set yet for the cleanup work, but anyone interested in helping is asked to contact the township at a.velopolcek@eldredtwp.org or call the office at the 610-381-4252, ext. 2.
