The South Hills Friends are responsible for maintenance of the Montour Trail between Library and Clairton. The Friends monthly work parties have been cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, and we plan no work parties for the rest of the year. However the Friends are still looking for volunteers to perform self-directed trail work including mowing, string trimming of trail shoulders, removal of downed trees, ditch clearing and tree trimming. Volunteers will work alone or in small physically distanced groups, working within speaking distance. Individuals interested in volunteering may email info@montourtrail.org. General questions may be directed to the same address.
Additional information concerning the trail, including South Hills Friends contact information, may be obtained on the Montour Trail web site www.montourtrail.org.
Save The Date: Penny Day Fundraiser
The South Hills Friends of the Montour Trail’s annual ‘Penny Day’ fundraiser will be held on Saturday, October 3 from 9 AM to 1 PM. Donation locations will be set up at the Bethel Park/South Park Waste Water parking lot (MP37.8), at the intersection of the trail and Gill Hall Road (MP40.7) and at the Clairton Trailhead (MP46.6). The parking lot at the South Park location will be set up with a drive around loop and to avoid traffic tie-ups on Piney Fork Road there will be no donation collections on the road. All three locations will be set up for no contact donations.
