Service with a Smile!
Members of our SVMS XC team hit the trails Friday, but this time with rakes and work gloves instead of their running shoes. The team improved and cleared trails and gathered trash in our SV Forest - enhancing the trails with a new route! Way to represent SV and be good stewards of the trails!
