The next Trail Work Day will be Saturday August 16th. We will start in front of the Parks & Rec building on Mast Road at 9:00am. We will be doing some final preparation work before a contractor comes in to make some drainage and surface improvements. If you have any questions, us. (Trail work days are held on the third Saturday of each month.)
The next Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail meeting will be Monday August 25th, 7:00pm at the Parks & Rec building on Mast Road. (Meetings are held on the last Monday of each month.)
A recent episode of Chronicle on WMUR TV featured an interesting segment on rail trails in New Hampshire. The guest was Charles Martin, author of the new book New Hampshire Rail Trails. You can view the video segment here. The website for the book is here.
The Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail has been awarded a grant from the Environmental Community Grant Program of Northeast Utilities (parent company of PSNH). This grant will be used to construct a small bridge this fall. In the photo below, Elizabeth LaRocca of PSNH stopped by our recent trail work day to present a check for the grant.
The Friends of The Goffstown Rail Trail is an organization of energetic, dedicated citizens volunteering to participate in the promotion, design, development, and maintenance of this resource. Everyone is welcome to contribute to this project.
