Hit the trail: Wiscasset Trails Day, May 17
Thu, 05/14/2015 - 8:45am
Do you enjoy walking, hiking, running, cycling, birding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, or cross-country skiing on these trails? Have you heard about the trails but never ventured into the West Woods? Do you enjoy outdoor work and serving your community? If you answered yes to any of these questions, celebrate Wiscasset Trails Day by joining the commission for a morning of spring trail cleaning.
The Wiscasset Conservation Commission will lead a cleanup of community trails in the West Woods area of Wiscasset (forest west of the primary school, the Morris Farm, the Community Center, and the high school) on Sunday, May 17, 8 to 11 a.m.
“The hard winter was tough on the trails,” commission member Neal Larrabee said. “They need some TLC now that people want to get outside in the warm weather.”
There are miles of trails in Wiscasset for the public to enjoy but most are little used.
“We hope to draw attention to these peaceful places that are open for everyone’s enjoyment,” Dan Sortwell, another commission member, said.
Interested volunteers should meet on Sunday, May 17, at 8 a.m. sharp in the parking area of the Sortwell Memorial Forest on the north side of Willow Lane a little less than one mile from the intersection of Churchill Street and Willow Lane in Wiscasset. Dress for woods work and bring gloves and small saws, clippers, and pruning shears if you have them. (Bug repellent would be a good idea, too.)
