Join us for an ecological and historical exploration of the Pioneer Cemetery and the Hydro Quebec Lands in Chelsea with biologist Carolyn Callaghan on June 7. Meet in front of the Meredith Centre (to the left, by the rocks). Please park in the soccer parking lot and not at the Meredith Centre.
Please consult our website for rain date information (http://sentierschelseatrails.wordpress.com/).
A big thank you to the volunteers who helped clear most of the two trails planned for the southern sector of Chelsea Park. Only a few small sections remain. Presently we are taking a break for more planning and discussions with private landowners. If all goes well, we should be able to put the finishing touches on the two trails starting the end of September to early November, 2014. We’ll keep you informed.
Anyone wanting to join our trail crew in the fall, please contact Marc Desjardins at [email protected]
