Help Our Trails (HOT) Day

Saturday, May 17

Attention all prospective Walpole trail work volunteers: The Walpole Trail Committee will host its 3rd Annual Help Our Trails (HOT) Day two weeks from tomorrow, on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 12 pm.  It’s time to sign up now!

On Help Our Trails Day, volunteers come together to help maintain and improve Walpole trails, including those at Mill Pond, Fanny Mason Forest, and the Cheshire Rail Trail.  HOT Day participants should gather at the Walpole Town Hall, 34 Elm Street, before 9 am.  Please dress for trail work and bring your own water, work gloves, and hand tools.  Useful tools include clippers, loppers, hand saws, shovels, and rakes.  Do not bring chain saws or power tools.  No dogs, please.  Working in small teams at various locations, trail workers will help clear fallen branches, trim vegetation, maintain drainage, pick up litter, and undertake other selected trail improvement projects. 

We strongly encourage all Help Our Trails Day volunteers to sign up in advance by sending an email to walpoletrailhelpers@gmail.com.  This will enable us to plan the trail work and to contact you with additional HOT Day details.

Please join us on Help Our Trails Day, Saturday, May 17th, from 9 am to noon.  Rain date is Sunday, May 18th.
