     Wachusett Greenways is a grass roots team of volunteers working to expand a network of trails and open spaces linking our communities. We regularly meet to build and maintain trails, improve open spaces, and reach out to the six towns we serve to promote sustainable and environmentally-sensitive use of green spaces.

     We envision an expanded network of trails and roads for non-motorized recreation and transportation in the towns of Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston (in Central Massachusetts, USA). Our largest current project is the Mass Central Rail Trail, of which 10 miles have been completed and 30 miles are under development. Volunteers are welcome for a day of trail work or a long-term dedication of your talents in developing trails. We have grown from under 40 members to over 1200 in the last 10 years and are proud of our accomplishments.

     Please join us in taking action for greenways in this region. Would you like to see a rail trail running right through the heart of Massachusetts? Do you want to find new places to explore? Opportunity awaits:

     Help build the Mass Central Rail Trail! Make a generous donation now. We are raising funds that will enable us to develop 30 miles of rails to trails in Sterling, West Boylston, Holden, Rutland, Oakham, and Barre. To complete the trail over the next three years, we must place three bridges, clear trail, prepare the surface, provide for proper drainage and install stone dust - our preferred trail surface. Please donate to this fully tax-deductible cause or join us in active participation. Our board meetings are open to all members and the public. Contact any board member to inquire for the schedule.

   Thanks, and we hope to see you out on the trail!
