    Pocomoke Trail Fundraiser

    If you have been to see Dr. Shoemaker; you know he is an avid outdoorsman and birder.
    One of his most beloved projects has been the construction and maintenance of the Pocomoke City Nature and Exercise Trail, a two mile walking path through primeval cypress forest and swamp along the Wild and Scenic Pocomoke River.

    The floating boardwalk that Ritchie designed has stayed intact through floods, hurricanes and twenty years of use. He is trying to raise the money needed to finish the “last link” for the Trail itself.
