Farmington Rotarians recently joined the HIgh Peaks Alliance to clean up the trails within the Prescott Field Trail System. The accessible trail Rotarians worked on can be entered at the trailhead off of Front Street across from UMF’s Early Childhood Education building. The clean up day was a way to work collaboratively with the High Peaks Alliance, and address one of Rotary’s newly added goals – to protect the environment. Other goals include: Promote peace; fight disease; provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; save mothers and children; support education; and grow local economies.
