Kerry Kelly reports that the group, Friends of Sleeping Bear — which is independent of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore but helps the local Park maintain amenities such as the new Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail — seeks trail ambassadors for the Trail. Friends of Sleeping Bear will hold a kick-off meeting on Thursday, May 2, at 2 p.m. at the Blacksmith Shop in Glen Haven, one mile west of Glen Arbor.
The group need volunteers to ride the trail at least once a month, look for trail obstacles or safety issues and answer questions for visitors. The first leg of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, which runs from the Dune Climb to Glen Arbor, opened last June. The second leg, between the Dune Climb and Empire, will open next year.
