We are planning to re-route two short sections of the Agnes Bowen Trail to get it off a portion of Greenwoods Road and another section off of Beaver Brook Road. Most of the trail will stay as is. The Section that will remove the trail from Greenwoods Road will be open this spring. We still need to put down about 40 feet of bog bridge and build a 12 foot bridge over a small intermittent stream. The section to remove the trail off of Beaver Brook Road is a bit more complicated as we not only have received clearance from DEEP Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries but we have to be concerned with potential impact of Species of concern or Rare species. It should be reviewed shortly and hopefully we can do that work next fall/winter. It will require significant work and expense as it is predominantly through a swampy area.
Thank you for your interest and question.
