Trail work tomorrow, 5/21/2011: Finish the Lot 1 connector on the Western Greenway Trail. If you haven't discovered this great urban trailwork in progress, you owe it to yourself to do so, and come on out and help us finish off the trail segment connecting Beaver Brook North to Shady's Pond via Lot 1.

The work will consist of benching the trail tread. We will meet this coming Saturday, May 21, at 8:30 am at the Cart Path Lane road entrance off of Walnut Street and work until the task is finished. Lunch will be provided, courtesy of the Waltham Land Trust, if we work into the afternoon. Long sleeves and pants are recommended as we will be working in poison ivy country. Bring your own work gloves, water bottle and if you have them, long handle loppers. All other tools as well as training will be provided.

The event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Beaver Brook Reservation, Lexington Conservation Stewards, Waltham Land Trust, Mass Audubon Habitat, and the New England Mountain Bike Association.
