Rail trail volunteers gathered early Saturday morning to begin work on the bike trail extension from Humboldt to Iola.
In April, Allen County was approved for a $22,818 grant from the Sunflower Foundation to build the Prairie Spirit Trail Extension. Three months later a group met with chainsaws, a brush hog and a Kubota RTV past the Riverside Park at Nebraska and State Street.
At 9 a.m. work commenced and 1.5 miles of weeds and grass was cut down.
