Fells Trails Volunteer Day

We’ll be continuing our fall workdays with work on a series of culverts along portions of the Mountain Bike Loop (Green), Reservoir Trail (Orange) and adjacent trails on Saturday, December 13th from 9 AM to 12 PM. We’ll be digging out some good sized culverts along with rock shopping and armoring (rock work) as well as cleaning out some drainage channels. A number of these culverts and channels are large but many have been clogged for some time.

We’ll meet at the trailhead at the corner of Hillcrest Parkway and Appalachian Road, which is labeled B2-2 on the DCR Middlesex Fells Map. (It's also where the Willow Spring Path starts.) There is plenty of street parking along Appalachian Road and portions of Hillcrest. Its about a 15-20 minute work to the work areas from the trailhead and we'll be carrying shovels and buckets.
