The Huddard Park Service Project was based on fixing up the trails at the park, and it was a fun way to make a big difference. Specifically, we restored the fences along the sides of a path by checking the structural integrity of the posts and fixing those that were loose. When we found a loose post, we would remove the rails and post. We would then dig a better hole, put in the post, fill it with concrete, pack it down, and put the rails back on. We also installed extra screws on the old rails secured only with nails. It was a fun project, and it was immediately evident that we were making a big difference because people walking by kept thanking us. Another upside to the project was that the work that we did will last a long time, so many people will be able to use the now-enhanced trail for a long time.
