The L.I.F.E. Trail has a beautiful new kiosk to help guide and orient those who use the trail. The entrance to the trail is located on the Lopez School campus near the tennis courts. The trail is open to everyone, sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year.
The trail is part of a one-mile loop that includes a rare deciduous wetlands wildlife habitat, as described on the new interpretive sign.
A group devoted to the trail, including Amanda Wedow and Liz Scanton, provided direction, and Brenna Jael designed, painted and installed the new kiosk. Wedow heads up the Lopez Conservation Corps, a nonprofit group that provides opportunities for youth to participate in environmental conservation in San Juan County; they provide maintenance for the trail.
On Thursday, May 28 from 5:30-7 p.m., there will be a special event at the Lopez School as part of the Evening Meals at School: celebration of the new L.I.F.E Trail Kiosk and LIFE Garden Open House. There will also be student music performances at 6:30 p.m. To participate, come to the Multi-Purpose Room at the school and enjoy a chef-prepared meal of local food, sponsored by the Lopez Locavores, donation only. All are welcome.
