This is a trail-building project - DIRTways are unpaved, rugged temporary trails located on Mecklenburg County greenway property. Because it takes several years for a paved Greenway to be developed, DIRTways give citizens an opportunity to enjoy the undeveloped greenway property in the meantime.
Please wear STURDY closed-toe shoes. All you need to bring are work gloves, a water bottle and LOTS OF ENERGY!
