Elizabeth would be so happy to know that all living things can always enjoy the beauty of this land
— Mari Smith

This trail system is in honor of Elizabeth Simpson who passed in 2019. In her will, she attached a draft easement so FCT could protect this land she cared so deeply for. Elizabeth lived her whole life on this land. We can thank Mari Smith, Elizabeth’s executor for helping FCT protect this property.
