Ðǿ՟oÏÞ‚÷ý Celebrates Opening of Sanctuary Trail

WYNANTSKILL, NY – Ðǿ՟oÏÞ‚÷ý celebrates the opening of its Sanctuary Trail, a natural retreat nestled among the 80 wooded acres of Ðǿ՟oÏÞ‚÷ý’s property. A longtime vision of the organization, the trail became a reality thanks to more than $14,000 in donations from the 2017 CDPHP® Workforce Team Challenge and the hard work of more than 100 volunteers.

The trail will provide a quiet place for users to take a meditative walk and enjoy numerous fitness activities, such as hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and more.

Dr. John Bennett, CEO at CDPHP and Mark Warner, representing the Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club, will join Karen Carpenter Palumbo, CEO at Ðǿ՟oÏÞ‚÷ý for the ribbon cutting. Come join us as we officially open the trail and bring a new sense of calm and relaxation to the Capital Region!
