Easton Town Forrest Construction – We need your help!

Volunteer Opportunities Clifford G. Grant Reservation (Easton Town Forest) Trail Building (by Oliver Ames)

Earlier this year, the Easton Conservation Commission received a Recreation Trails Grant from the state to build trails in the Clifford Grant Parcel. This fall we start the second phase of this project building puncheon board walks to link the newly created trail loop Work will consist of building wooden puncheon board walks, including moving boardwalk materials & footings into the woods, and final installation (among other activities and projects).

Tools will be provided. For any of our work sessions, no experience is necessary, just a desire to work with some great people, having fun working hard and helping contribute to something that benefits all of us. The fall schedule will be updated as time & project work progresses. If you plan on attending, please send an rsvp email to Chris Patrick at mtbchris@gmail.com or call 617 315 5647.
