Pitch in on the Piedmont is The EDGE project to mulch the Piedmont Trail and all elements each Spring and late Summer/early Fall. This offering supports the adage “many hands make light work.”
PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS IMMEDIATE REINFORCEMENT of skills learned during their team development programming at The EDGE. In a period of 2 ½ – 3 hours, with FULL ATTENTION to task and safety, we anticipate several teams will distribute and spread mulch sufficient to twice fill the bed of a large pick-up truck. In addition it:
PROVIDES A SAFER ENVIRONMENT by cushioning our trails and the areas surrounding our challenge course elements utilized by the thousands of individuals who participate in our programs on a yearly basis.
PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT by holding the soil in place thus preventing erosion
PRESERVES THE TREES by acting as a buffer against soil compaction that would damage the root systems of our trees/surrounding undergrowth that could eventually contribute to their dying.
RETAINS MOISTURE on the forest floor thus promoting healthy root systems of the trees in the park.
SAVES The EDGE thousands of dollars in labor costs thus supporting our continuing efforts to offer reasonably priced educational programs.
See our Pitch in on the Piedmont Honor Roll and our partners who help make this all possible!
Educators, scout and community leaders planning to bring a group to this event can prepare their participants with our Pitch in on the Piedmont presentation.
