The project partners have been working since 2018 to remove the Wheelwright dam and create a critical connection point for the Mass Central Rail Trail. Removal of this 500 foot long, 17 foot tall dam will reconnect approximately 130 river miles in the Ware River watershed and provide wonderful benefits for local fauna and flora.Terrain: There will be some moderate uneven terrain and off trail hiking. The walk is approximately 10 minutes from the parking area to the dam. There are no bathrooms available.Your host will contact registrants with detailed directions (including parking) and in case of weather-related changes.Due to limited capacity, if you are not able to attend after you register for the walk, please contact admin@massland.org a.s.a.p. so we can open your spot for someone else.
