Help Expand Bracken Preserve Start Building Trails! Brackenfest 2.0 is a “fun”draising ride to support the expansion of Bracken Preserve with 34 acres of beautiful forest land where we can build 2-3 miles of moderate trails. These trails will be inviting to more of our community—including athletes, adventurers, beginners, children, families, seniors, and people at various levels of ability and fitness. Last year, we needed to act fast to buy the land while it was still for sale. In December 2022, Conserving Carolina closed on the land, so this year we can move on to the exciting part—building trails! Last year, Brackenfest generated over $25,000 in funding for the Bracken expansion. If we could match that success, or do even better this year, it would be a huge step toward creating these new trails for walking, running, hiking, and biking. There are two ways to participate in Brackenfest. You can raise funds by riding as many laps as possible—solo or as a relay—in three hours. Or join the guided ride at a relaxed pace.... Read More
