The city of St. Joseph's parks and recreation department announces the start of building a nature trail along the Missouri River.
The city's Facebook page says an area is being cleared near the Remington Nature Center's riverwalk trail.
The post says "The goal of the project is to provide a space where visitors can interact with nature while also being a place for educational programs."
Patrick Quinn of St. Joseph's parks department is shown on a video posted on the city's Facebook page along with drone and ground footage of the five acre area where staff will work in the future with groups who will conduct educational programs.
The first stages of the trail are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The project is funded by the city and a matching grant from the Missouri department of conservation.
