The town has issued a Request for Proposals for the first major trail construction project. This will include work to be done on phase 1 of the First Mile project near Parks & Rec, and additional work east of Moose Club Park. Potential bidders can find more information here.
The next Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail meeting will be Monday September 29th, 7:00pm at the Parks & Rec building on Mast Road. (Meetings are held on the last Monday of each month.)
A recent episode of Chronicle on WMUR TV featured an interesting segment on rail trails in New Hampshire. The guest was Charles Martin, author of the new book New Hampshire Rail Trails. You can view the video segment here. The website for the book is here.
On a recent trail work day, three local landscapers generously donated their trucks and labor to remove cut brush and trees from the trail. Thanks go to Gil Upton of Landscapes by GLU/CO, Jim Beauchemin of Green Thumb Landscaping, and Paul Janelle of Grasshoppers. We appreciate your help!
The Friends of The Goffstown Rail Trail is an organization of energetic, dedicated citizens volunteering to participate in the promotion, design, development, and maintenance of this resource. Everyone is welcome to contribute to this project.
