Beginning
at Saylor Park in Coplay, Pa., participants will walk the
five-mile loop of the Ironton Rail Trail, leading them along
the Coplay Creek to the Lehigh River and looping through Whitehall
Township back to Saylor Park. Half way, walkers can
stop, rest, and pick up a bottle of water and a snack at the
Hokendauqua Park (to view a map of the trail, visit www.irontonrailtrail.org).
Walkers
will enjoy the route, visit various education stations, experience
fun environmental activities, all while learning how Wildlands
Conservancy does the work of protecting open land and wildlife
habitat, restoring streambanks, creeks and rivers, and enhancing
outdoor recreational greenways. |

| A Go Green
Challenge will also be a part of the fun! While on
the trail, simply fill in the answers to the questions listed
on the sheet given to you at registration. All registrants
who complete the Walk and the Go Green Challenge will
receive an event T-shirt, conservation literature, and other
goodies. Additional prizes will be awarded to the first
100 registrants who complete the Walk and correctly answer the
Go Green Challenge. |
