The C&O Canal Trust is partnering with the National
Park Service to host Canal Pride Days 2008. Our goal
is to complete 100 revitalization and stewardship projects
throughout the park over a four week period. From
April 19th to May 11th our dedicated volunteers will paint
lockhouses, repair and paint picnic tables, cut back overgrown
vegetation, plant trees and flowers, and much, much more. There
is truly an activity for every age and level of experience.

The focus in this, our first Canal Pride event, is
on the most heavily-visited section of the Park, from
Seneca to Georgetown. While some people may only
commit to one afternoon, and others will commit to
several days, all will be helping to achieve that which
we could never accomplish alone – making the
C&O Canal a National Park for which we can all
be proud.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors,
meet new people, and show your pride for our beautiful
C&O Canal National Historical Park. Businesses,
schools, scouts, religious organizations, and other
groups are especially encouraged to participate.
