There will be 3 concurrent projects going on at the same time on the 17th.  If you can help, we ask that you sign up using the links below, so we can plan on the appropriate number of volunteers for each event.

• Coolidge Hill Trail re-routing:  Many of the trails to the top of Coolidge Hill are straight up and steep, and that has caused major erosion and safety issues.  We will be re-routing 3 areas of the trail to avoid the steepest sections and create a more sustainable trail.  This work will include clearing new trail sections and closing off the old sections.  More details can be found in the attached document if you are interested.
• Pickerel Pond bridge construction: There is a beautiful island site at Pickerel Pond that can only be accessed by a footbridge.  We have begun construction of that bridge and are currently about halfway complete.  The goal is to continue that work and hopefully finish the project.  This work will include construction, people working in waders in the water to secure posts, and moving/cutting heavy wood.
  
• Town Forest Mountain Bike Trail construction: This will be the 2nd day of construction of the new mountain bike trails going in at Town Forest.  Blackstone Valley NEMBA will be guiding the activities to ensure the work is completed according to Mountain bike standards and is sustainable over the long run.  This work will include clearing trails, digging, and building features. 
  

If you are able to participate in any of these events, please use the links below to sign up.  You'll get more details in a few days on the specific time and meeting locations.
