One of the perks of retirement is taking a walk on the spur of the moment. If you are in Monroe at Mt Pleasant, you could have a wonderful woodland walk on their Nature Trail.
The trail is the product of volunteers operating with the encouragement of management. It is not a benefit that is touted in any brochure but is a real source of enjoyment and pride to the people who live and work here.
Monies have been contributed for many years by the residents to purchase trees, plants and benches. A water line was installed. Those donations also financed projects for Eagle Scouts to build steps and bridges.
This spring the whole project seemed to put on a show..
Continuing work will be done by committee members as the need for weed control and mulching continues. it is already a fine walk for the residents as well as the staff.
