General Information for visitors

As of June 9th

There may be an occasional tree down across the trail, even though we try really hard to keep it clear.  If you find any, let us know.  It’s a task that is never done, but we’re always trying to stay on top of it.

Wild flowers are out, so be sure to take your wildflower books out with you so that you can identify all the things you see.

Can’t remember where the trail number posts are located? Check out our map in the General Information menu item.  Remember, you can always load the Maprika app on your smart phone and import the Hansville Greenway map. The app works with Android or iOS. With GPS enabled, you should be able to find your way with no problem.

Want to report stuff? Want to volunteer to help? Just e-mail us at info@hansvillegreenway.org or you can contact Art at 360-638-0738  to make your report. You can also comment on our Facebook page.

We are short of able-bodied people to help with maintenance, so if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer your time for a really good cause, we’d love to have you. Any time you can contribute is really appreciated! And you’ll get bragging rights for working with us! There is no “required” amount of time for volunteers to work.  We are just happy to get any help we can get.

We are leading organized hikes through the Greenway.  The hike held on June 1st had a couple of takers and a good time was had by all.  Who should go on one of our hikes?  Anyone who feels uncomfortable hiking in the woods alone.  Anyone who wants to learn more about the great out-of-doors right in our own community.  Or anyone who wants a leisurely walk in the woods.

The next planned Greenway guided hikes will be offered on the following dates:
July 13, July 14, August 17, and September 14th.  They will start at Buck Lake parking lot (the southwest corner) at 9:00 and last two to three hours.  The hikes are not difficult, but hikers should dress for the weather and wear good walking shoes.  Take along any snacks you might want as well as drinking water.  No water fountains in the woods!

If you plan on hiking with us, please let us know by emailing info@hansvillegreenway.org.  While this is not required, it lets us know how many people to expect.

There are no work parties planned at this time.  (It would be really unusual if we were actually organized that well!)

We did some mowing and brushing in preparation for the 4th Grade Conservation Tour now in progress.  

The next work-related event will be the United Way Day of Caring.  It is on June 28th. This is where volunteers from all over can sign up do to great things for their favorite organization. Here’s the link so you can sign up. You’ll get a lunch and a T-shirt for your efforts.
