We live in a very small town in central Oklahoma. Our town has less than 500 people. We don't have any health clubs or boys and girls clubs for the people to use. We do have a very large, and beautiful park with some playground equipment and two baseball fields. What we are working on is building a fitness trail that everyone in our community can use.
The fitness trail will be a one mile long by 4 foot wide lighted path around the outside of the park. One quarter mile of the path will go through the woods. The city park, named Tiger Park, is located at the cener of town.

Big South Fork NRRA, like many of our national parks, is facing a tremendous budget shortfall. This day of volunteering in the park will provide much-needed support to the park.
This event, sponsored by CHS SPEAK (Cookeville High School Students Promoting Environmental Action and Knowledge), will bring together concerned citizens from all across Tennessee and Kentucky. Please join us for this historic day of giving back to our park.
Volunteers should arrive at their designated work location between 9:30am and 10am Eastern Time.

Come out and join an AmeriCorps trail crew on the expansive and breathtaking Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Trail projects span from Southern California to Northern Washington, encompassing some of the most remarkable areas the West has to offer. Drainage control, brush cutting, and the construction of specialized trail structures are just a few of the tasks that you will be performing on this widely used path. In return for your worth while service, your trail crew provides gourmet food, tools, safety equipment and training free of charge.

I am a member of Girl Scout Troop 486. We recently earned a geocaching badge, and want to share this new sport with other girls in our Council. We have voted to place geocaches at the Council camps. We placed 10 geocaches and letterboxes at Camp Pennyroyal last month. We will place them at other camps as we visit them. We voted to donate a GPS unit to Camp Pennyroyal with our Cookie Sale profits. Now we need a way to provide units for the other camps.

The Facts:
The world's mountains cover about one-fourth of the planet's land surface and are home to 10 percent of its population. They are a sanctuary for an extraordinary web of plant and animal life and a source of water for all of the world's major rivers.
Yet mountain people, the guardians of these valuable mountain resources, are among the world's poorest, hungriest and most marginalized populations.
