BENCHES WANTED

Over the last few years, Walk Fearrington has installed, along our trails and paths, nearly a dozen attractive metal benches, donated by residents. The idea was to increase the attractiveness of the walking experience in Fearrington by providing places to sit, linger and enjoy the ambient sights and sounds.

At present, the old wooden bench in The Labyrinth has collapsed and should be replaced. There may be other places, particularly in some of our under-served areas, where a new bench would be welcomed by walkers.

If you would like to consider donating a metal bench along our trail-path system, please contact Carol Kurtz at 542-3582 or Henry Castner at 542-1602.
