Friends of Libby Hill

Friends of Libby Hill (FLH) is a group of volunteers who seek to help with a wide variety of projects on Libby Hill Forest Trails.  This group which assists the Gray Community Endowment improve it’s Libby Hill Trail system has existed informally for years and sprung from the original Libby Hill Trails committee started in 1999. Since 2010 a six member board now governs the  organization to better communicate and coordinate volunteer efforts.  Whether you can contribute an hour or 100’s of hours, we want you to become a ‘friend’ of Libby Hill Trails.
