It was reactivated in the spring of 1991 to focus on the establishment of the Bay Circuit Trail in Andover. The committee continues to support Bay Circuit Alliance projects. It is also working on the Shawsheen River Greenway initiative. The Andover Trails Committee will continue its work to increase the public's access to recreational trails by publicizing trail events, seeking volunteers to work on trails, raising funds for trail improvements, and working with regional groups to create trail networks. The public is invited to attend meetings of the Andover Trails Committee and to volunteer for trails projects.
Membership is informal.
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month in September, November, January, March, and May, at 7 p.m. in the Town Office Building on Bartlett St. Workdays are open to people with all skill levels and are publicized in local newspapers. Since then, representatives of several affiliated organizations have joined this organization to identify existing and potential walking and cycling paths that can link neighborhoods, schools, playgrounds, parks, transportation stations, business districts, and other resources. By mid-1997 approximately twenty such local paths were identified and labeled. The Town's citizen Conservation Commission is represented on the Trails Committee. The Town government's Conservation Office works with the Commission to administer and protect open space, wetlands, watersheds, and other elements of the town's natural resources.
