Come and walk along the future Squannacook River Rail Trail as it parallels the beautiful Squannacook River, recently designated as a part of the National Wild & Scenic River System. Learn more here.
We are going to need lots of volunteers to help prepare the rail trail for the work to begin Nov. 7. So mark your calendars now!
We all at Squannacook Greenways were heartbroken at the loss of our long time president and close friend Steve Meehan. Without Steve's intelligence, charm, determination and humor, this rail trail would have faded long ago, instead of rapidly approaching construction. Every time we walk or ride this rail trail for years to come, Steve will be with us in our hearts.
Squannacook Greenways has released our construction specification and an invitation to bid to general contractors interested in constructing the Squannacook River Rail. These documents contain a wealth of information about the coming rail trail. Bids are due Sep. 30
Squannacook Greenways is also investigating acting as its own general contractor and subcontracting out the various tasks required. We will ultimately select an approach that buys us the most trail for the money we have raised.
In a word, you! The Squannacook River Rail Trail is being built by a local non-profit, Squannacook Greenways, with money from grants and donations only. No town money is being used for construction or maintenance. The trail will be maintained by local volunteers.
The next Board of Directors meeting of the non-profit Squannacook Greenways will be on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019 at 7:00 pm at the American Legion in Groton. Anyone interested in this project is more than welcome to attend.
