Save The Date - May 30!
Volunteers are needed to help the Carlisle Trails Committee build two small trail bridges in Carlisle’s Davis Corridor conservation land on Saturday, May 30. The plan is to cut lumber, move all materials to the site, install foundations, and nail the bridges 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, bug spray. Park at the trail parking lot off the driveway to Malcolm Meadows on Stearns Street, 0.6 mi south of Bedford Rd (Rte 225). Follow signs about 0.4 mi from the parking lot 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, May 31 at the same time.
For questions, email Steve Tobin at sptobin@comcast.net at least 3 hours before the project starts.

Davis Corridor Boardwalks
Nov 15, 2014 – Two new boardwalks, 10 feet and 62 feet long, were installed on successive Saturdays by the Trails Committee and a large group of volunteers. The boardwalks are located on the Davis Corridor trail about 1000 feet south of the junction of Bedford Road (rt. 225) and Brook Street. They cross a wet and rocky area on a section of trail that was rerouted when a portion of the existing trail was discovered to be situated on private property.

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.
