Polk County Health & Wellness is asking for Polk County residents help in completing a survey to conduct a Community Health Assessment (CHA). This initiative aims to gather valuable insights into the health statuses, behaviors, and experiences of residents in Polk County and shape the future of health services and support systems in our community.

Residents of Polk County can access the survey online through our website.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

April Workdays

April 16th @ Tom Raymond Fitness Trail (12-2pm)

April 23rd @ Alexander's Ford (10-noon)

April 30th @ ICC/Library Loop Trail (10-noon)

If you would like to help us with trail work, please contact us.

If you'd rather work on your own, feel free to walk a trail, picking up trash and moving small branches from the trails. Please don't cut any branches; if a trail needs more attention, email trails@polknc.org and we will take care of it or bring it to that trail manager's attention.

MIND YOUR MANNERS

Most trails, if they are open, may not have public facilities that are open, so check ahead of time. Other trail courtesies also still apply: keep dogs on-leash on all hiking trails, take your trash with you, etc. Thanks for doing your part!
