Green Team Outings Wrapped Up Labor Day Weekend— The Green Team enjoyed one last outing for the summer 2010 season on Saturday, Sept. 4 hiking the Winnebago and Hammer's Trails. Nearly 35 participants (and two dogs) joined the Green Team for a brisk walk along the trails, learning about their conception, developement, and maintenance. Many thanks to the Green Team, including Jerry Specht and Tom Schultz for their insight and guidance; Colby Schultz for his involvement in the development and maintenance of the Winnebago Trail; and Bruce Hamming for his efforts to make the Hamming Trail passable (which was saturated and impassable in many spots) in time for the event. Learn more about the Green Team events. View photos from this and previous Green Team Outings on Facebook!
