Pomeroy Meadows trail starting from Ranch Ave closed due to bridge collapse

March 2, 2022 by Michael Caron

Due to a collapsed bridge at our Pomeroy Meadows conservation area, the Ranch Avenue entrance is closed until further notice. We are planning replacement of the bridge which is complicated by the unstable terrain and considerations of climate change effects there. To access the trail, please use the Paul St. entrance. There is limited parking there so please respect private property. We do not allow dogs, even leashed, at this area (sensitive wildlife habitat). Thanks for your understanding and support!
