Friends of the Western Greenway fifth work day of the trail season is Saturday, July 10!   This continues the work done on previous work days this summer and on the Western Greenway trail building project last spring. Trail work this year will take place on and around the Shady's Pond Conservation area in Waltham. The July 10th work  will include both trail clearing and construction of a bridge.

July 10 we will meet at the basketball court near the end of Brookway Road (GPS and online maps: 71 Brookway Road, Waltham). This is in the Waltham Housing Authority area and the entrance to Brookway Road is directly across from the Wal-Lex Shopping Center. Parking spaces are available next to the baskeball court.  We will work 8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. all days with partial day participation welcomed. Lunch will be served on all days. Bring your own water bottle. We will offer unlimited refills. All tools and training will be provided.  Work will proceed rain or shine.  Be prepared to encounter poison ivy and mosquitos on the trail.
