The Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail (FOCHT) have 
announced the Fifth Annual Martin Luther King’s Day of Service for the Cynwyd Heritage Trail 

The MLK Day of Service volunteer day is a free event open to the entire community. The purpose is to assist Lower Merion Township and the Friends in preparation for future re-establishment of native meadows and ornamental landscape horticulture installations. Leadership for the workday will be provided by the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail. Volunteers should wear comfortable shoes, work clothes and dress in layers. Although basic tools will be provided, it is recommended that volunteers bring their own work gloves if they already own them and a re-usable water bottle to stay hydrated.
