The Firefly Trail is a community-driven rail-trail in progress. When complete, it will stretch about 39 miles between Union Point and Athens, Ga., connecting three counties and seven towns with a wide, paved, off-road path for walking, running, cycling and rolling that celebrates the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch, the state’s first chartered railroad.

Richelle Brown Elected to Firefly Trail, Inc. Board

​
Richelle C. Brown, a trail advocate with experience in trail-creation in her home state of Virginia, has become the newest member of the Board of Directors of Firefly Trail, Inc.
Brown’s special interest lies in communicating the benefits of the trail through electronic media and preserving recollections and memorabilia of the railroad, which ceased operations in 1984.

“I am naturally drawn to the Firefly Trail,” Brown said. “I love trails and the recreational, environmental and economic benefits they provide. Plus, I love the historic aspect of rail-trails. They are a great way to uncover and share an important part of our history. I’ve got some railroad heritage of my own: my great-grandfather supervised gandy dancers on the Southern Railroad.”

Among her extensive volunteer experience, Brown lists serving as community outreach committee chair for the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, visitor services and collections volunteer with Loudoun Museum, and oral history volunteer at the Alexandria Archaeology Museum, all in Virginia.
​

Firefly Trail Inc. is seeking additional volunteers and potential board members. For more information, please contact Mary Cook, treasurer and volunteer coordinator, at [email protected].
