Join the Friends of Long Island for a trail-building workshop at Minister’s Face Nature Preserve! This will be a unique opportunity to visit the island and learn about trail building from local stewards. We will be working to extend the existing trail system on Minister's Face to create a loop for hikers to enjoy. This will be a long day of hiking over varying topography with beautiful views of the Kennebecasis River along the way.
