If you want to help build a deck or two, meet in the parking lot behind the Northborough police station at 1:00 pm this Saturday (October 23rd) and we can build some bridges. We have the tools, but a few volunteers will be very helpful.
Northborough Trails Committee - Upcoming Events
Welcome to the Upcoming Events list for Northboro trail work. We are a group of regional volunteers that love to hike and maintain the trails of metrowest Boston, more specifically in and around Northborough, MA.
Get involved and come out to one of our events that includes trail maintenance, guided hikes, and a variety of other regional nature activities.

I had the trimmer serviced at Boston Lawnmower. Once I got it back, I cleared the very end of Cold Harbor Trail with it, from West St. up to the first bridge. That was almost impassable.
I tried the trimmer at Stirrup Brook, but the grass is too tall and it tangles up the blade. Bring on the bush hog!
A volunteer, John Murphy, is organizing a group to replace some boards at Little Chauncy.
We have a couple projects that need volunteers: on Bird Song trail, there's a long (three section) bridge that floated off it's blocks, so we're going to have to move that back. There are wood planks on Tall Grass trail near the Assabet River that need to be moved into the muddy areas of Bird Song/Coyote trails.
There was some vandalism of trailhead kiosks at Edmunds Woods and Cold Harbor. NTC volunteers will be working this summer to fix those. If you want to help, send an e-mail to ntc01532@gmail.com.
I'd like to thank all the NTC volunteers for making this such a great day. Earlier in the month, George had all the necessary materials printed and worked with the Applefest committee on the details for the booth. Claude, Scott, Nancy and Charlie were at the booth all day handing out materials and promoting the trail network.
It was great to see Art Cole (our Founder) who stopped by for a nice talk with the group.
Today, Jim Stone dropped the NTC Maintenance Trailer off at the model airplane field near Lil' Chauncy Pond. I ran the mower all around there and also the trimmer, so the area is now ready for the big influx of visitors that will certainly occur following Applefest. I spoke with Jim about the need for some sort of hedge trimmer attachment that could be added to the brush trimmer to cut the growth that hangs over the trail from above. I'm going to look into whether Honda makes such an attachment for our trimmer.
Where: Hudson St., Yellick parking area
Why: work day to repair eroding section of Coyote Trail along the Assabet river
