TRAILS OPEN

A gracious thanks to the Holy Cross crew team and coaches plus several trail volunteers for their hard work and efforts to help open the East Side Trail system on Saturday March 14th. In approximately six hours a total of 41 people successfully cut and removed deadfall from the December '08 ice storm that had rendered many portions of the trail system impassable. An estimated five± miles of trail, including the full length of the pond side trails at Bell Pond & Green Hill Pond have been reopened and are ready for travel once again.

Ice Storm Cleanup

On Saturday, March 14th we will be doing a cleanup of the East Side Trail system. At present we anticipate upwards of 40± people but would welcome more. The plan is to meet in the center of Green Hill Park across from the pond at 9 a.m. where we will break into 5 separate groups. If you are able to assist please join us. Should you have any trail clearing equipment (loppers, hand saws, etc.) please, if you are so willing, bring it along.
