A Little Help From Our Friends Please

April 26, 2020 by Michael Caron

Dear Friends of the Pascommuck Conservation Trust:

During this Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust has worked very hard to keep our trails open to the public with regular maintenance, welcome signs, and reminders to keep a safe distance between hikers while enjoying our properties.

Due to the unprecedented Stay Home directives over the past month, everyone is happy to get outdoors even for a little while.  During this time, however, the use of our trails is much heavier than normal and because so many are enjoying the trails, they are even more in need of regular maintenance.  This has become very costly for the Trust and many of our planned special projects for our nine properties will be suffering unless we get a little help from our friends.  Like many local organizations, one of our special fund raisers, the Spring Plant Sale, had to be postponed in order to keep everyone safe.  We are optimistic that we will be able to schedule the Fall Plant Sale once the safe re-open begins.  In the meantime, however, funds are short and we need your help.

As you may know, the Pascommuck Conservation Trust is made up entirely of volunteers, neighbors and friends who appreciate the value of our treasured sites and work very hard to keep them manageable for all to enjoy.  We realize that these are very difficult times for everyone, emotionally and financially, too.  If you would like to help the Trust by making a contribution, large or small, to our Maintenance Endowment Fund, we would greatly appreciate it.  Contributions may be made through Network For Good here or directly mailed to the Trust at PO Box 806, Easthampton, MA 01027.

Thank you very much.  Together we will keep our trails open for everyone.

The Board of Directors
Pascommuck Conservation Trust, Inc.

Improvements made at Old Trolley Line

September 23, 2019 by Michael Caron

Panoramic view – Mt Holyoke Range

Directional and historical information signage has recently been added to Old Trolley Line. In addition, bikers along the Manhan Bike Trail can now park their bikes at the entrance to Acadia’s portion of Old Trolley Line and include a nice hike into their exercise regimen.

In late August a bridge over a dry creek bed was also installed. Thank You to all the volunteers who helped lift and place the two 500 pound girders into place!
