Cleanup Organized at Trail of Tears State Park

SUNDAY, 30 MARCH 2008


Hikers who are eager to get back to the Trail of Tears State Park have organized an emergency cleanup last weekend in order to speed up the reopening of the said trail.

The trail was closed since February due to the ice storms that hit the area. The park's roads and trails have been blocked, which makes hiking impossible.

The emergency cleanup was spearheaded by Eric Redinger, an avid hiker and Assistant Director of Outdoor Adventure for Southeast Missouri State University's Recreation Services Department.

Three other Southeast groups joined Redinger in his efforts, including the Recreation Services Department, Recreation Enhancement Club, and the Trail of Tears Sierra Club.
