Trail Stewardship Committee
Formed in 2001, the Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation of the Lakefield Trail. The Stewardship Committee liaises with Selwyn Township's Parks & Recreation Department at the sub-committee level.
The goals of the Stewardship Committee are to:
- Organize fundraising activities for Trail maintenance and enhancements,
- Promote natural environment education and recreational activities, and
- Promote all local and area trails.
The Stewardship Committee normally meets on the first Tuesday of every month (except July and August) at 5:30 PM in the Centennial Room of Memorial Hall in Lakefield. Meetings are open to the community.
Stewards of the Trail
In addition to the Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee, many Volunteer Stewards maintain designated sections of the Trail. Our Volunteer Stewards are responsible for litter control and reporting any damage to the Trail, it's benches or trees to the Stewardship Committee.
We currently have a few sections of the Trail that need a Steward's care.
