On a cold October 24th Saturday morning 6 volunteers showed up to help Kevin Mulligan with the Mutter Field upgrade. It consisted of bringing wheelbarrows of loam to shore up the plastic boards, followed by spreading grass seed and covering with hay. Gravel was also brought down to cover some of the bare spots on the trail.

On Monday August 24th about 8 volunteers showed up at the end of East Green Street to help with the offloading of 250, 10 foot High-Density Polyethylene, or HDPE boards. Work, being done by Kevin Mulligan and Jason Miranda, began this week to remove the rotting wooden boards and shore up the trail with the HDPE boards. It’s expected to take about 8 to 10 weeks to complete the upgrade. The culvert on the East Street side of the trail is also gong to be redone. The trail on that side of the property is currently closed.

Updated signage was installed this week along East Street and the bike path. The sign includes new acquired property The Old Bed- Fish & Wildlife area which abuts the Old Pascommuck property and is still in development for access trails.

Bridges were recently replaced at both the Dwyer Conservation area as well as at Pomeroy Meadows Conservation area. The bridge at Dwyer consisted of mainly replacing the wooden bridge across the first major wetland are with another wooden bridge. However the bridge at Pomeroy Meadows consisted of switching out the wooden bridge with one consisting of aluminum girders as well as aluminum railings. Some of the rotted steps were also replaced on the stairs located after the bridge. Thanks to the work parties who managed the demolishing of the old bridges and the reconstruction of the new and improved ones.
