Trails From Freeport to start can recycling as fundraiser

Starting Wednesday, May 1st, Decorah area residents can help support the Trails From Freeport effort by depositing recyclable cans in a large receptacle located at the Freeport Park.

The goal of the "Trails from Freeport" project is to build a 1.5-mile paved path to eliminate pedestrian and cyclist traffic on County Highway A6W/Old Stage Road and connect Freeport safely to the Trout Run Trail. TFF has raised more than $118,000 toward the trail extension to date.

The can receptacle will remain at the Freeport Park through TFF's "Discover Freeport Park Day," scheduled for Sunday, June 23rd, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., with a light lunch provided by Lynch BBQ.
