Community Leadership - Woodside Trails Appreciation Award
The founders of the Woodside Trails Club and Donald Listwin 2005

The first annual Woodside Trails Appreciation Award goes to the founders of the Woodside Trails Club and Mr. Donald Listwin.

 

In 1922, seven women–Mrs. Selah Chamberlain, Mrs. William Duncan, Mrs. Lawerence Harris, Mrs. Daniel Jackling, Elsa Shilling, Mrs. Nathaniel Messer and Ms. Marjorie Josselyn organized a trail club. the club was limited to those horsemen who could substantiate their horsemanship, had proper trail knowledge and were concerned with keeping the trails open for the use of future riders.  Those same rules apply today, though it is through the cooperation of private property owners that the trails are able to exist. The Woodside trails Club is a unique organization, thanks to its founders. Because of their insight and desire we honor them with the Woodside trails Appreciation Award.

 

Mr. Donald Listwin is being appreciated for the improvements and maintenance of the equestrian trail along his property on Woodside Road. The equestrian community welcomes how this trail has been beautifully landscaped with large rocks, plants and trees. It is a wonderful example of the unique capacity our local residents have for contributing to the horse community.
