Trails Cleanup Day 

Sunday, September 21 at 9:00AM

The Trails Committee is looking for volunteers to help with a fall trails cleanup day on Sunday, September 21.  We’ll meet at 9 am at the Town Hall and send out crews to trails that need trimming from summer’s growth.  Bring work gloves, water, and loppers or a bow saw if you have them, or borrow our tools.  This is a good opportunity for community service.  For more information, contact Steve Tobin at sptobin@comcast.net or 978-369-1680.

Journey to the Wilds of Acton

Sunday October 5 at 1:00PM

Join the Carlisle Trails Committee on October 5 to explore new trail connections from Carlisle to over 600 acres of conservation land in Acton.  This is a great opportunity to expand your walking universe while enjoying the fall foliage.  The walk will start at 1:00 pm at CCF’s Ben’s Woods property at the corner of West Street and Pope Road.  Parking is along the side of West Street past Pope Road.  We’ll follow Marion’s Trail to the Acton border, then new trails in the Robbins Mill conservation land, connecting to the Spring Hill and Camp Acton trail networks.  The walk is 3 miles, will take about 2 hours, and there will be refreshments at the end.  Heavy rain cancels the walk.  For questions, contact Steve Tobin at sptobin@comcast.net or 978-369-1680.

New Link Trail at Greenough

Oct 20, 2013 – A short new link trail has been cleared on the Greenough Land, connecting the main parking lot on Maple Street with the north end of the Blueberry Trail and opening up the opportunity to create various loops. This trail partially follows an existing informal trail that parallels Maple Street near its junction with East Street, passing interesting rock formations before emerging opposite the Blueberry Trail entrance just south of the Brook Street junction.

Foss Boardwalk Completed

May 4, 2013 – Assisted by a large crew of volunteers, the Trails Committee completed a new 60-foot long boardwalk crossing a small stream just south of the Foss Farm parking lot, to provide access to the South Field loop trail with newly-cleared field edges. This boardwalk replaces the “Bridge to Nowhere” – a boy scout project many years ago that crossed only part of the swamp. Before and after photos are shown below.
