Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association

Outdoor recreation -- Our main goal in this regard is to help people connect with nature, both through our trail network and from programs we offer. Many of the trails have kiosks and maps for users. Our programs include guided walks open to the community and an annual Accessibility Day for people who cannot walk to one of our summits. The guided walks help people learn more about the environment, as does a "Field Note" section in our newsletter. Expenses include trail maps, brochures, other kiosk material and trail maintenance. Volunteers worked 1118.5 hours on trail development and maintenance, for a value of $33,600.

Education -- Local schools use the Pinnacle lean-to and trails for field trips and environmental study, and some students do community service projects such as helping to remove invasive species. We sponsor a naturalist who accompanies elementary school students on hikes on Pinnacle land to help with their environmental education. Board Members provide guided walks to points of interest, ie to the Champion Ash Tree, to Creature Rock, and to areas of blooming spring flowers.
