includes the Bay Circuit trail thru Boxford. Trail users often return after a walk/run, as a
volunteer, to remove a downed tree from the trail or cut back brush that is growing into the trail.
Boxford is a "volunteer town." Every year BTA/BOLT thanks the two Boy Scout Troops for
their keen interest in helping maintain the Boxford trail system.

Memberships and donations to BTA/BOLT's IRS tax-exempt 501c3 organization are always
appreciated so that all Boxford children, adults and visitors may develop a love of the outdoors
through utilization of our well-maintained trail system.

The fourth edition of "The Boxford Bay Circuit Guide To Walks in and around Boxford," has
been renamed Boxford Trail Guide. The first guide book, The Bay Circuit Guide to Walks in and
around Boxford was printed in 1991 with a grant from the National Park Service River & Trail
Conservation Assistance Program. Two other updates were printed in 1995 and 2005.

This trails guide book, a children's trail/nature activities book, and the Boxford Trail Map, are
available through BTA/BOLT (978-887-7031), the Boxford Town Hall, Boxford Library,
Wayne's Community Store, and West Boxford Provisions.

PARADES

The Town Budget provides funds to the Recreation Committee to hold the Memorial Day and
July 4th parades. The Memorial Day Parade is coordinated by the James L. Melvin Post #379

parade and ceremony.

along with the Board of Selectmen, Boy Scout, Cub Scout and Girl Scout troops. Ceremonies
alternate between East and West Villages year to year. This coming year, the official Boxford
Memorial Day activities will be in the East Village.
