Monthly Workday
In partnership with Hopkinton's Trail Coordination & Management
Committee,
the Trails Club runs a trail maintenance
workday on the first Saturday of each month. The work will vary
depending upon the needs at each site: everything from removing invasive plants to building trail bridges.
Participants will need gloves and sturdy footwear, and tools
appropriate for the work to be done.
This is a great opportunity to give back to the trails you love. Each
workday lasts just a few hours, and you'll be with a fun group of
people. By the way, if you're a student or Scout in need of community
service hours, this qualifies!
Curious about the projects being considered? The TCMC maintains a spreadsheet with the info. If you have a suggestion for a trail that needs work,
or know of a specific issue to be addressed, send us an
email.
Note: The date & time for each workday is always the first Saturday
of the month at 9AM, but the location and work to be done are often not
set until a week or two before the workday. If you see "TBD", check
back later for the details.
