Articles, Publications, and Press Coverage

The Trail Town Outreach Corps submits work to a number of town newsletters and publications, including the Daily Courier and the Herald-Standard (newspapers distributing in Connellsville), to publicize events and give general updates about community building and development opportunities.

Past articles include:
- Raising awareness about litter and its effect on community perception, natural habitat, and human health.

- Contributing to the local food movement by donating produce from backyard gardens to a non-profit that can then sell it at the farmers' market.
