Around 50 neighbors beat the rain Saturday morning at the ribbon cutting for the new BREC/Americana trail. BREC had four educational tents set up, along with a make your own trail mix stand and a VERY impressive swag station. We met a baby gator and took home an adorable camp mug and some great Louisiana field guides.

The completed trail now includes over 3 miles of hiking that’s great for the whole family. The BREC-side entrance to the trail is just past the big pond at Zachary Community Park and connects to Americana.

If you missed this event, don't fret! Join BREC for a guided hike on Tuesday, April 25 as part of their Urban Nature Hike series.
