SUMMARY:Northern Trailhead Opening
DESCRIPTION:CELEBRATE – HEYSEN NORTHERN TRAILHEAD REJUVENATION\n\nFriends of Heysen Trail members & supporters are invited to help celebrate completion of the Northern Trailhead Rejuvenation Project.\n\nIt’s very exciting to see The Friends’ bold vision become reality\, especially as it is the biggest project our volunteers have ever initiated and funded.\n\nThe tired old stile and fencing are gone; deteriorating platforms are replaced by stone yarning circles and a vibrant archway with stone steps herald the start or finish point.  Landscaping and clear parking bays transform the surrounds.\n\nThe celebration will officially open the Trailhead and unveil new signage and a plaque acknowledging the incredible support and donations that helped make this a reality.\n\nMembers please register your attendance via The Friends of Heysen Trail website walks & event program to help with catering.
