Here is a picture of our final presentation board! On the left side we had our environmental issue of ecosystem restoration. In the middle we displayed basic information on the Schuylkill River Trail. Then finally, on the right side of the board we displayed the positive and negative feedbacks from both the Brentwood and RACC trailhead. We also put up pictures from our experiences on the trails.

Our SRT findings by RACC (Team PJ2) November 30, 2015

On November 13th, George, Kevin, Jen, Jesse, and Payton went to the Schuylkill River Trail. Our findings at this location was very different than what we found at the last location. This time we went to the part of the trail that was located behind RACC. This trail was filled with graffiti, trash, glass bottles, and wasn’t well maintained. Walking along the trail, we also discovered that groups of homeless people live on these trails. We saw about ten tents of homeless people, as well as other people living along the actual river. After our discoveries, we now have a better understanding of why many people feel discouraged/scared to come to this part of the trail.

Our first trail experience (Team PJ2) October 28, 2015

On Friday October 23rd, my group and I went to the SRT. We were able to walk on the trail, observe the surroundings, take pictures, and talk to locals that come their often. We noticed that parts of the trail are more secluded than others, therefore, we felt as though more directions or signs would be appropriate for people to feel secure in not getting lost. It was nice to see that the trial itself was very clean and that there was not a lot of trash on the ground. Please enjoy these pictures! IMG_8163 IMG_4374 IMG_9496 IMG_0217 IMG_8783
