Troop 343 Hauppauge Boy Scouts assist with Long Island Greenbelt Trail cleanup

Six Scouts and five advisors from Boy Scout Troop 343 of Hauppauge spent the entire day on  Saturday September 28 in service to the community.  They put in seven hours of service time as they  assisted in reconditioning the wheelchair accessible El’s Wampmissick Trail in Manorville.  Fresh from their trail building experience at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico this past summer, the scouts and their volunteer scouting leaders joined volunteers from the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference.  They were able to remediate nearly a quarter-mile of the only wheelchair accessible hiking trail in Suffolk County.  Suffolk County Parks Commissioner Greg Dawson was on hand to personally thank all the volunteers for the great work on this and other Suffolk County trails.
