National Trails Day guided hikes and volunteer work projects will take place Saturday at Kanawha State Forest, Coonskin Park and the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Organized by the American Hiking Society and held annually on the first Saturday in June. In 2024, it was to be held on June 1, 2024. National Trails Day is meant to boost awareness and promote maintenance of public hiking trails across the United States.
The tentative proposal by the FAA to acquire more than 400 acres of Coonskin Park for a valley “fill area” would make way for an expansion as part of Yeager's Airfield, Safety, and Terminal Improvement project.
