Mass Central Rail Trail, Rutland MAPartners in twenty-six communities are working to reopen a disused railroad line that spanned 104 miles from Northampton to Boston, MA. The line is being converted to a linear park for hiking, biking, jogging and relaxing. So far, fifty-one miles have been repurposed.
This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well.
All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.
Lots of community effort in these miles. There are four different entrances within a few miles of where I live, which makes it great for a quick walk in the (mostly) woods.

Looks like fall is in full bloom in Vermont. Hasn’t quite happened here yet.

What a great idea to repurpose the old line in this way. Sounds like a labour of love?
