Time to take notice of what isn’t on Leeds road-sides. The soda and nip bottles, beer cans, plastic waste, styrofoam cups and to-go containers, pieces of house siding, old tires, debris and other trash that marred the beauty of the village are gone. Every Spring an effort is made by Leeds volunteers to clear the thoughtless disposal of other people’s trash. The volunteers listed below picked up nearly a dumpster’s worth of trash on Saturday, April 30th and Don Willard’s group picked up two truck loads on Sunday in the rain! Saturday’s volunteers filled large black bags which they left on the roadsides they cleaned. Sue Carbin and Marc Freedman rounded up the bags into Sue’s truck and hauled them to the DPW dumpster at Leeds School. Lynne Imre helped Sue sign people up in front of the PO. Please take notice as you drive or walk along the following roads and trails and if you see any of these helpful folks around the village give them a hearty “thank you.”

All major and minor trails were recently GPS mapped by trail volunteer Dave Litterer and a new map has been developed by LCA volunteer, Heidi Stevens.
The Blue trail has an entrance on Dimock Street and the Blue trail from Musante Beach is now blazed. Follow the Blue trail to the summit and enjoy a beautiful view recently opened up by the City’s professional forester. The Green trail is a historical route, a section of the 1812 stage route to Albany. Its’ entrance is at the end of Water Street and is now clearly marked and leads out to Chesterfield Road through a narrow leg of conservation land. The Orange trail is an inner loop off of the Green trail and follows the old power line path west of the summit, comes around and up the north side of the summit and connects with the blue trail. Another Orange trail link has been blazed from Main Street to Water Street. Small connector trails are marked with yellow. There are also several small trails without blazes that have been added to the map.
