How quickly Mother Nature acts — even on pressure-treated wood! Despite a work-day just last spring, footing on the trail at Old
Pascommuck Conservation Area had become treacherous once again. But with some chilly repairs, all the bridges are solid.
So please go enjoy the beautiful late fall colors. They may be more subtle, but you’ll see sights which are invisible in the riot of summer
vegetation. Not least of which is the immaculate grooming at the East Street trail head, thanks to the indefatigable master landscaper, John Bator.
