Lights at Forestville
It’s really happening! The lights are almost completely installed at the Forestville trailhead along the sprint loop! This 1.3KM loop will be lit on a daily basis as soon as we are able to groom the trail surface! The lights were installed thanks to the NMU Apprentice Lines School! These students worked for 3 solid days installing the underground cable and light posts! Thanks to NMU for their support to get the project done!
Light Fund
Now that the lights are up, we need support to pay for the project! Please help by purchasing a cool light fund pin. They are only $5 and can be purchased at Sports Rack and Down Wind Sports of Marquette! The lighting project cost the NTN a whopping $8500, so any donation to the cause would be greatly appreciated! A big thanks to Longyear Realty for allowing us to install the lights on their property!
