UPDATE: The Trail Accessibility Event, originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 7, at the Prairie Creek Lodge in Gainesville, has been postponed due to lower-than-expected registration.

“We are working closely with our partners to reschedule the event at a later date when more members of the community can join us to experience these incredible adaptive trail devices. We are also in touch with existing registrants to work with them individually,” said Sophie Szymula, the communications coordinator the the Alachua Conservation Trust, in an email to Mainstreet on Thursday afternoon.
