Larry Smith Leads Woodlands Hike
The Jacksonville Woodlands Association held its 18th annual Woodlands Hike-a-Thon on Saturday, April 16, 2011. This year’s theme, “Hiking to Preserve History,” combined the JWA effort to protect and preserve Jacksonville’s historic and scenic woodlands habitat and viewsheds with the Jacksonville Heritage Society’s effort to protect and preserve Jacksonville’s historic buildings. In keeping with this historic preservation theme, the JWA reissued the Jacksonville Woodlands t-shirt incorporating the historic Peter Britt Home designed by local artist and JWA Board member and founder Ray Foster. Production cost for the shirts was underwritten by Gayle and Skip Stokes, allowing all proceeds from t-shirt sales to be used in support of the Jacksonville Woodlands.
The Jacksonville Woodlands T-shirts can be purchased at The Good Bean Coffee Company and Willowcreek Gifts for $10.00.
On behalf of the Jacksonville Woodlands Association, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to Ray Foster and Gayle and Skip Stokes for their generous support to the Jacksonville Woodlands Association. I also want to thank JWA business sponsors The Good Bean Coffee Company and Willowcreek Gifts for their efforts to promote the sale of the Jacksonville Woodlands T-shirts. These community-local partnerships enable local programs and activities such as the Jacksonville Woodlands to continue benefiting the Jacksonville community and visitors.
