The Northern Lights were amazing last night from the trail. Photos weren't able to capture the true beauty so we tried to recreate it.

Thanks @ey_us for volunteering with us for your day of service. This is the 4th time we have hosted EY and they are the hardest working group of volunteers! Invasive bush honeysuckle didn't stand a chance with these volunteers on the trail.

Help us raise money to replace 7 aging and damaged picnic tables along the Mount Vernon Trail. These tables provide much-needed rest stops and gathering spaces for walkers, runners, and cyclists enjoying one of Arlington's most popular outdoor destinations.

We’re sorry to share that the Moonlight Monument Walk on the Mount Vernon Trail has been canceled due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. There were too many logistical hurdles to overcome to make this event happen in time.

Check out these before/after photos from Saturday! A difference you can see! Cleaning the pavers took 8 volunteers 2.5 hours to do!!! 😍 Wow.
Cleaning the pavers cost $50 in leveling sand and tools. Donate to help us do more of these improvements in the future: buff.ly/b5HH4CD

What a difference some paint can make! A team of volunteers worked over two afternoons to re-paint this crosswalk at Gravelly Point. Improving the visibility of this crosswalk benefits all trail users. The materials for this improvement were purchased with donations.
