Thanks to funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Massachusetts Service Alliance, we had a terrific work day advancing projects to beautify and enhance the visitor experience at the Mass Central Rail Trail. Over twenty people spent the better part of the day creating a pollinator garden, cleaning up the main parking area, clearing brush and expanding the space at the pony truss for the picnic table. Additional projects will continue over the summer.

Would you be able to help water and weed the pollinator garden? We’d love your help over the summer keeping the garden in great shape. Email Cynthia at [email protected]. Thanks!!
