Boardwalk Building Workdays

Saturday November 8

Saturday November 15

 

Volunteers are needed to help the Carlisle Trails Committee build a boardwalk in the Davis Corridor conservation land.  Work days are scheduled for Saturday, November 8 and Saturday, November 15.  The Nov. 8  work plan is to cut lumber, clear a trail to the construction site, move all materials to the site, and install the concrete parking bumper foundations.  The next weekend we plan to nail the boardwalk together.  Work will start at 9 AM and probably go into the early afternoon; coffee, donuts, and lunch will be supplied.  Volunteers can work as many hours as they choose.  Things to bring:  work gloves, water, hammer, tape measure, loppers or bow saws for trail clearing.  Park on Brook Street near Bedford Road or on Canterbury Court near Bedford Road.  The trail to the work site starts at the intersection of Brook Street and Bedford Road; it is about 1000 feet to the work site.  This is a good opportunity for community service or to complete the trail work requirement for the Carlisle Trekker Award.  In case of heavy rain, the rain date is Sunday, Nov. 9 at the same time.

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.
