Wayland Conservation holding volunteer event for trail maintenance

trout-brook-conservation-areaThe Wayland Conservation Department will be holding a trail maintenance and invasive plant removal event at Trout Brook Conservation Area on Saturday October 22 from 11am-2pm (rain date October 29).

Trout Brook is a 50 acre area comprised of predominantly white pine forest surrounding a freshwater swamp. A mile and a half of trails run throughout the property.

Join us for a fun and rewarding day outdoors helping to maintain one of Wayland’s beautiful conservation areas! Any amount of time you can help is appreciated and useful, so come and stay as long as you want. All ages are welcome including children if accompanied by an adult. Please no dogs.

The entrance to Trout Brook is at 22 Campbell Rd. On-street parking is available across from the entrance. (Please do not park in front of the gate.)

Bring hand tools only (pruners, loppers, pruning saws etc.) for clearing the trails and removing invasive plants. Long Pants, long sleeves, gloves and sturdy solid footwear are highly suggested.

Please contact the Conservation office at 508-358-3669 or email Brian Harris for more information.
