FOLAR organizes counts of pedestrian and bike use of the Appomattox River Trail twice each year at key access points. Volunteers are needed for counting on Thursday, September 19th and Saturday, September 21st between 10am-12pm or 5pm-7pm. Counts provide valuable data used to improve and inform pedestrian and bike infrastructure planning and design.  READ MORE.

Trail Count volunteers who complete their shift(s) will be entered into a drawing for a great FOLAR gift!
