PageA8 (C) Thursday, June 5,2008 The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers www.hometownlife.com OUR VIEWS Trail offers a new recreation experience Canton officials will unveil to the public the new Lower Rouge River Recreation Trail during a grand open• ing ceremony that will coincide with Rouge Rescue on Saturday. Construction crews are in the process of putting the final touches on the first phase of the walking/hiking/ biking trail that will ultimately run from Canton Center Road all the way to 1-275. The first phase includes about 2.5 miles of main trail and several loop trails that will show off different natural features in the park. Unlike most of Canton's other parks, which have groomed ball diamonds or soccer fields, the Lower Rouge River Recreation Trail is really, all about nature. The trails are all within the Lower Rouge Parkway, which encompasses close to 300 acres of woods and wetlands within the township. The parkway, which actually runs all the way to Dearborn, is dissected by the Lower Rouge River, which is really the park's main feature. In addition to promoting nonmotorized forms of recre• ation, the trail will introduce users to what Canton actu• ally looked like before pioneers reshaped the land with saws and plows, and before subdivisions popped up like mushrooms. In addition to being home to many species of wildlife, including deer, fox, mink and many different birds, there are plenty of native plant species, including •wildflowers and towering trees. Walking the trail, it is easy to forget you are in metro Detroit. Rouge Rescue activities begin, at 8 a.m. and run to about 2 p.m. Volunteers will do a variety of activities, including planting native vegetation, removing invasive plants, and building bird houses. There will also be a number of guided nature walks. The grand opening of the new trail will be held from 1-4 p.m., with a ribbon cutting ceremony planned at 1:30 LETTERS p.m. There will be guided and interpretive hikes, bicycle Department of Environmental Quality We finally have a fresh voice.
