“Our group had an amazing time cleaning up the Sugar Creek Loop.  We all felt it was very important to do our part to take care of the areas that we all go out to and enjoy.  This also helps to show the local communities that we care about these areas and will leave it better than we found it.”  Rob Kroupa, volunteer

“Tread Lightly! appreciates the efforts of local volunteer groups all over the country that make these projects come to life. Dedicated volunteers are the lifeblood of conservation, and we are so happy to have supported the Sugar Creek Loop through the generous funding of Quadratec.”-Danielle McNiven, Tread Lightly!
