Friday June 25th 2010 marked the date of an important occasion for the city of Monroe, MI. and for the planet. This was The Heritage Trail Dedication ceremony and it took place at the corner of Elm and Detroit.
The trial connects The River Raisin National Battlefield Park, Downtown Monroe, The Ford Marsh, and Sterling State Park and will soon reach the community college. Attendance and support for the event was excellent. Citizens and organizations alike were present to see a paramount panel of speakers.
Mayor Clark along with Senator Levin and Jeff Corwin among many others spoke to the importance of the Monroe area and the trail and Monroe’s part in conservation for the planet. The event also included a ribbon cutting ceremony and the unveiling of the new trail sign.
The festivities Friday and Saturday included a talk by Jeff Corwin, trips to the Battlefield Museum, an inaugural run and even kayak trips.
The trail will undoubtedly bring enjoyment and have a hand in conservation for years to come.
