We did such a bang up job last year in the wildlife sanctuary, we may have our eye on another debris filled section. Last year we were finished well before noon, so I don’t expect this spring to be any different.

Keep the Saturday free for a few hours of cleanup.
And don’t forget the Cookout at the Tenney School.

Since B&M Railroad ceased operation, the rail bed has been gradually reverting to a natural state of small trees, brush and vines. In the summer and fall sections nearest the downtown area have been impassable on foot without a machete and jungle guide. beforevermett
One of the Methuen Rail Trail Alliance’s 2010 goals is to clear the entire Methuen section of the Manchester to Lawrence Branch line, so that it can be traversed end to end by foot and mountain bike. Please join me in thanking Tim for his incredible devotion to this goal.
