Nature Trail Updates
The Nature Trail Committee continues its activities as the season warms up. The trail to the old stone bridge below the dam is now complete, although clean-up work is still needed on the bridge proper. It has been out of use for many decades, but it is still an interesting site, having been built in 1906. The trail is marked with branches along the sides and surveyor ribbon attached to trees along the way. Resident pendants have been tested, and they do work in the area. Read more
Nature Trail Opens
Today on April 9 The Nature Trail Committee had its annual Wildflower Day to welcome spring and “open” the Nature Trail for the season. The rain thankfully held off, and we had well over 100 people in attendance, although only 97 signed in. Besides walking the Trail, we also showed videos of the Trail, the Trees of Charlestown, and Herbert Run. Read more

The public is invited to the opening receptions, twice a year, and 10% of the proceeds goes toward the Benevolent Care Fund. Read More
