I know it seems a bit far off, but before you know it, spring will be here.  At least, that's what I'm telling myself.  I personally have already been tracking the sun from my window perch as it rises and sets across the sky here in the New River Gorge of West Virginia

Yes, the days are getting longer despite what the temperature, gusting winds and drifting snow are telling us.

So, as I look forward to spring, one of the first events of the season for ACE is Trail Maintenance Weekends.  This year, we have them scheduled for April 10-11 and April 17-18.

 


Volunteering while on vacation is not a new concept, but I am starting to see it more often in major media.  What is it that is sparking more and more people to give up a portion of or their entire vacation in order to help others or our environment?

In today's age of economical distress and numerous natural disasters, I think it is safe to say that more people are caring these days.

Here at ACE, we have seen a surge of families and non-profit groups wanting to help out while they are on vacation. I don't know about you, but this gives me a feeling of hope for the future of our planet and our people.
