Monthly Workday

In partnership with Hopkinton's Trails 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? There's 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.

Next workday

Date: Saturday, June 7
Time: 9AM-noon
Location:  Colella property at Hughes Farm
Meeting/parking location: Hughes Farm Trail parking lot (192 Hayden Rowe St.)
Work to be done: Clear a western connection to the Hughes Farm Trail
Tools: Hand clippers, loppers, hand saws, digging tools (to pull out roots)

There's now a path cleared through the length of the old cattle run, so the next step is to create a trail connecting the western end to the Hughes Farm trails.
