Southern New England Pro Crew

AMC has three professional crews working on the trails and parks in western MA and we'd like to share this impressive list of projects they've completed so far this year. Many thanks to crews for their hard work to improve the trails in our area!

Noble View APT Add-Ons

Funded by The Harold Grinspoon Foundation, we were able to install two rest areas with accessible picnic tables to the Noble View All Person's Trail (APT) and fix a couple spots of the trail that were having drainage issues.

Long Mountain

A crew installed 21 new native rock steps on Long Mountain in Amherst on the New England Scenic Trail (NET). This project was carried over from last year's Mass Trails Grant with Mass Audubon and DCR which funded our timber box step work on Mt Norwottuck.

Bash Bish Falls Staircase

The crew built a 26-step stone staircase to repair damage from Hurricane Helene, making it safer for hikers.

Roving Maintenance for Mass Audubon

A crew spent 3 weeks performing trail assessments and critical trail maintenance on 5 different Mass Audubon sanctuaries in Central and Eastern MA.

Clarksburg State Park Beaver Brook Bridge

The crew replaced a pedestrian bridge across Beaver Brook and repaired a bog bridge.

DAR State Forest

The crew deconstructed then rebuilt two Diamond Pier boardwalks.

Pittsfield State Forest Tranquility Bridge

The crew built a new bridge over a stream on the Tranquility Trail.

NET Section 9

The crew worked with a teen crew from Holyoke, building a box step staircase on Section 9 of the NET. The crew will return to complete this project at the end of September.

Baldpate State Park

Yesterday, a crew completed a 170+ ft long diamond pier boardwalk at Baldpate State Park. The final Report will be released next week.
