Trail closed due to protected species



As you're out and about on Nick's Woods, you'll see that we've closed a side trail just after the culvert crossing. This is due to the presence of smooth rockcress (Boechera laevigata), which is a Massachusetts State Species of Concern. We ask that you help us keep this native plant around by staying off the closed trail. Thanks!

National Trails Day

Happy National Trails Day! We hope you're getting a chance to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather on some local trails.
As of today, Worcester boasts several new trails, due to the hard work of twenty or so volunteers of all ages who showed up at Nick's Woods at 8:30 this morning. Should you head over there, you'll now find the main cart path (the old 122A) blazed with blue rectangles. There is a loop you can make if you break off onto yellow rectangles and yellow triangles (yes, they need names!), coming back down the hill and by the brook.
Also, many thanks to our torch-wielding crew, who have now made Nick's Woods car-free! Nice job, guys.

We will post pictures once we get them downloaded.
