Having a favorite trail in town to hike can feel like a wonderful getaway close to home. When your piece of solitude is broken by trash or damage, you may feel like restoring it to its pristine, natural condition.
A perfect solution is to Adopt-A-Trail! Available trails are:
- Veterans Park Yellow Trail
- Veterans Park Green Trail
- Veterans Park Blue Trail
- Black River Trail
- Riggs Trail
A sign naming you/your family/ business/group will be posted showing your affiliation at the kiosk of the trail. Responsibilities would include:
- Signing of contract for a one-year agreement
- Minimum trail clean-ups of two times per year, early spring and early fall
- Gloves and bags will be provided by Roxbury Recreation and DPW Department’s Clean Communities Program
- Report to Roxbury Recreation any maintenance needed on the trail, such as a downed tree, stream blockage or missing trail markers
- Report to Roxbury Recreation any damage on the trail, such as graffiti, structures, party spots
We appreciate volunteers like you to help maintain our growing trail system! Thanks!
