Weston Trails Survey

Collecting walkers opinions and knowledge

I am a Weston Girl Scout working to complete my Gold Award. This is a survey for those who walk or hike on the Weston trails, with or without a dog. I am trying to gather information about the trails and the amount of trash on the trails, and hope to identify and fix trash and dog waste problems. The goal is to obtain cleaner water and a healthier environment. This survey will take 5-10 minutes of your time :)
