How Can You Get Involved? Become a Trail Steward!
Trail Stewards adopt a conservation area or trail and monitor it periodically to evaluate trail conditions and report on any needed maintenance concerns such as downed trees, invasive species control, and flooding. Stewards also make recommendations about improvements in the trails in their area and report on any illegal activity.

For more information, please contact the Division of Natural Resources Office at 978-318-3285.
The Trails Committee:
- Monitors the condition of all Concord existing public trails and trail markings, and identify areas needing improvement. Trail areas needing improvement will be documented and photographed. Identify appropriate locations for new trails, coordinating with private landowners on adjacent parcels through direct contact, when a new trail or trail amenity will be constructed within twenty feet of their property line.
- Develops and revises trail maps and descriptions for Town lands.
- Assists the NRC, where appropriate, in implementing recommendations made by the Committee and approved by the NRC.
- Supports the NRC and its mission by stewarding trails and Town lands.
