Trailhead Shelter Julia Cumming of the
Madison Soil and Water Conservation District, along with the Madison
County Commissioners, have been successful in obtaining numerous grants
from the NatureWorks program and other agencies for development of the
trailhead shelter structure, future expansion of parking facilities,
and future enhancements to restroom facilities. In addition,
there have been many contributions from local businesses and others in
the community.
Stanley Electric got the ball rolling with a generous $500 donation toward completion of the shelter structure. Thanks to FMCPT member Jack McDowell, who was able to secure a donation of 20 yards of concrete from Larry Randall of Buckeye Ready Mix located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The Madison Correctional Institution, under the direction of Officers Terry Shaw and Kenny Davis, provided the labor to build the structure. Thanks to FMCPT member Frank Slagle for creating the design and technical drawings for the information kiosk. Thanks to Dave Walters of Frames by Choice for the design, construction, and installation of this glass-enclosed bulletin board. Thanks to Mike Adkins of the Farm Science Review for donating 20 Dwarf Alberta pine trees, and thanks to Richard McKenzie and Julia Cumming for getting the trees planted. Thanks to Todd Lane, Executive Director of the Madison County Senior Center, for the donation of four picnic tables to the shelter facility. Thanks to Kathy Husek Budding Bloomers Garden Club for donating and planting of a blue spruce at the trailhead. The most recent plans for the trailhead area include clearing an area for future landscaping and planting of a prairie plant display by Jack McDowell.
The entire trailhead area is developing into something that our community can be very proud of.
