Canal Pride Days

Join the C&O Canal’s official park partner, the C&O Canal Trust, this spring for the 5th Annual C&O Canal Pride Days! Last year, over 300 volunteers tackled nearly 30 projects to help the park, everything from painting signs and picnic tables to pulling weeds and repairing trails. Canal Pride Days has projects for every age and skill level—everyone is welcomed to help. To learn more about C&O Canal Pride Days 2012, contact Becky Curtis.

Registration is now open for C&O Canal Pride Days 2012!
