Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail (FOCHT)
Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail encourage the development of the Trail within the Lower Merion community. Please take a few minutes to browse our website and get a better understanding of what we do. We hope you find the information useful and informative.
This site is maintained by the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, a non-profit organization formed to raise awareness and community involvement in the construction, beautification, and maintenance of the Trail. The Friends assist Lower Merion Township by organizing volunteers for the Township’s periodic workdays, providing design feedback, and working with members, partners, sponsors, and donors to raise money for permanent Trail improvements and amenities.
Please consider lending your support to the Trail any way you can. If you become a member, we will keep you updated with all of the latest Trail news. Feel free to contact us. We invite you to get involved in our organization, planning, and volunteer activities.
Waterers and Weeders Wanted
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us plant for Earth Day. Barmouth Trailhead looks amazing and the Friends can’t wait to experience all the flowers this summer when they are in full bloom. There will be wonderful blooms in the summer, and the early fall, brilliant fall foliage color in October. Please reach out to the Friends if you are interested in watering or weeding. We are looking for help. Email us at info@cynwydtrail.org.
Thank You for Another Success Event!
Thank you for all the people who took part in this year’s first Cynwyd 5K. What a wonderful day. Special thanks to the Neighborhood Club of Bala Cynwyd and West Laurel Hill Cemetery for partnering with us. And of course, thank you for our sponsors. We couldn’t have done it without you.
