Other WG volunteers and visiting community groups painted picnic tables, removed hundreds of dead trees, and cleaned ditches…many ditches. WG also installed new benches and added new portable restrooms with increased service. Members and Volunteers Count Greenways grew to 932 donors in 2017 including 98 new members. 474 generous donors contributed to Wachusett Greenways’ MCRT Construction Fund. A total of nearly 2780 friends have contributed to WG, and some have been loyal members since 1997. More than 200 volunteers of all ages help each year. WG volunteers attended the Massachusetts Annual Trails Conference, UMass Med School’s Earthday Celebration and Holden Days. Greenways directors continued to share our experience with others working on rail trails around the Commonwealth. Greenways held hospitality days and trail counts on the rail trail. One volunteer installed railings on the accessible ramp at 21 Miles Road, Rutland. Another completed surveying for the MCRT connection as we prepare to open the building in 2017. Greenways’ vegetable garden produced a bountiful crop shared by volunteers and visitors. Landscaper Doug Hagman continued to donate mowing and leaf removal. Neighbor Everett Reynolds and others continue with snow removal. Sentry Oil makes generous oil contributions. WG offered year-round outdoor events on trails throughout the region. Volunteers led walks, bicycling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing or other outdoor adventure. A warm welcome for volunteers, members and supporters! You are invited to contribute at . Wachusett Greenways, P.O. Box 121, Holden 01520. Members receive the Wachusett Greenways guide, which includes a map for the regions’ trails and greenways. Volunteers welcome. Wachusett Greenways Board of Directors: Colleen Abrams, Chair Troy Milliken, Treasurer Christy Barnes Michael Peckar, Secretary Stephen Chanis (Retired 5/17 Jeff Keay)
