Page 348 - BOXFORD

Boxford’s license with National Grid permits:
Removal by volunteers of trash and debris
Brush removal and mowing of sections to maintain the path alignment
Maintaining the path surface including minor filling of holes as needed
Placing planks for walking in sections with poor drainage
Installing and maintaining trail information signs at public access points

The committee members are mowing and clipping brush when needed. Many volunteers are
needed to help with the items outlined in the National Grid license. Please call committee
members to volunteer. This is your trail so let’s be mindful of caring for it and enjoying it.

A heart-felt THANK YOU to the private owners of the Kelsey/Hemlock wood lot for permission
to maintain the Bay Circuit trail to and from the rail-path and to the Horticultural Society of
Boxford Land Trust which preserves and maintains the Harlan P. Kelsey Arboretum for quiet
walks and appreciation of the Hardy American Plants that HP Kelsey introduced to the Nursery
Trade when he moved to Boxford in 1912 to build his business at the Kelsey Highlands Nursery.

The time to explore and enjoy this rail-trail is now
