The Wayland Historical Commission is sponsoring its 11th annual volunteer Spring brush clearing weekend at the Wayland Depot (1 Cochituate Rd.) on Saturday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday May 6 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers are encouraged to come either day to help remove brush, vines and undergrowth along the inactive railroad tracks near Wayland Depot and through Wayland. We will also continue to excavate the steam locomotive turntable pit to expose more of the circular granite walls, in addition to removing brush that has grown up along the tracks and the enginehouse site. Volunteers should bring work gloves and pruning tools, shovels, and should wear work clothes and boots. In cooperation with Friends of the Wayland Rail Trail we will be clearing brush along the entire railroad line through Wayland.

For more information call Rick Conard at (508) 358-4597 after 7 p.m. or by E-mail at RRConard@earthlink.net.
