4/10/2015 0 Comments TRECYCLE - Ready, Set, GrowIt is just one week before the TRECYCLE adventure to cycle 333 miles across the state of Ohio on a recumbent trike to raise awareness and support for native tree reforestation in response to the loss of millions of ash trees to the Emerald Ash Borer in Ohio.
Thank you! First off, to all who have supported with pledges towards the goal of $1,000. I actually haven’t made it to the online goal, but some have sent me checks and handed me cash that exceed the $1,000, so we are in good shape - in fact added another park. Thank you to Ed Kapraly of Riverside Native Trees who grew the trees and will be delivering over 50 trees and shrubs to the 8 parks on Monday and Tuesday April 13 & 14. Here is a list of parks and the foresters and volunteers I have been working with and need to thank as well:
I wish to thank David Cornthwaite, from the UK who is advising me and other adventurers on our journeys to plant 1,000,000 (1 million) trees! TRECYCLE will begin in Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River on Sunday, April 19, 2015 and ends on the shore of Lake Erie on Saturday, April 25. The week encompasses the Environmental holidays of Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22 and Arbor Day on Friday, April 24. I will be travelling about 10 miles per hour, around 50 miles per day. It looks like lodging is all lined up and there are some interesting local places to eat along the way. Folks are welcome to join me on the trail or visit with me at the dining stops. I have a timeline and a map posted at my web site: Link to TRECYCLE Timeline LINK to GPS Map of the Ohio to Erie Trail TRECYCLE Ride And what adventure would be without its own logo and line of t-shirts? Thank you to my daughter Christine for design and to America Stevens of Swirly T-shirts who helped me recycle over a dozen perfectly good t-shirts inside out with new TRECYCLE logos. Thanks the Greene County Parks & Trails for donating a dozen used Trail Sentinel jackets to be recycled with new logos for the adventure. See you on the trail in one week!
