The Methuen Rail Trail Alliance did a swell job on the Nevins Wildlife Sanctuary. Cans and bottles gave way to much trash, metal, tires and abandoned shopping carts. Hopefully the rest of the trail will be this easy. Thanks to all who attended.
I made this today. Hopefully it will be useful out on the trail. Keep an eye out for more plastic sleds!
This is our 11″ x 17″ color poster to download and put up.
Download pdf here..large hi res file (2.5mb) - it prints up nicely though.
I have been printing them at Fedex/Kinko’s for about $1.50 each.
We also have a tri-fold brochure.
The brochure can be downloaded as a PDF file – Trifold_Handout (282kb)
Getting the word out and recruiting people is vitally important to the momentum of this project. We can’t let the opportunity pass us by. It can’t get any easier than this, our trail lies at the end of another trail which is in development. Not only will we have a wonderful greenway of our own for recreation but we will be connected to the entire community.
Using ThePetitionSite.com we have started a petition in support of the Methuen Rail Trail. We are hoping to get at a large percentage of Methuen residents to sign.
It appears now on the left sidebar of this website–>
This is what you would be signing:
We the undersigned support the development of the Methuen Rail Trail. We believe Methuen residents deserve a safe place to recreate; a place for people of all abilities to walk, run and cycle without competing with automobiles for fresh air and the shoulder of the road. We want our city to connect to adjoining projects in the immediate area such as the Salem Bike-Bed Corridor and eventually to paths and trails beyond. We believe that this trail will decrease carbon emissions, reduce car traffic, enhance the health of our citizens, encourage all forms of exercise, and create a place for our community to connect with each other and with our natural environment.
We ask the Mayor’s office and the Methuen City Council to support this effort too.
After signing the petition please continue to http://www.methuenrailtrail.org/ for photos, maps and other info about the trail.
Please use this URL http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/methuen-rail-trail-petition
and send the petition to everyone from Methuen, who is in your address book.
The Petition is also on Facebook @ http://apps.facebook.com/petitions/view?pid=267474207

We made the front page of the Methuen Life paper. Run out and grab a few while you have the chance, I was only able to locate one today. This should bring us a nice new flood of members.
