2020 Annual Meeting Recording
On Nov. 18, 2020, FNT celebrated 15 years of supporting Northampton’s stellar trail system. This year’s annual meeting highlighted our accomplishments (and challenges) this year, featured remarks from local VIPs, and provided a glimpse of FNT’s goals and projects for the coming year.
Head to the parking lot on Old South Street in Northampton. Plug in the code “8989+JG Northampton, Massachusetts” into Google Maps or click here to get directions.
Start trailblazing! Follow the map to destination #1 on Old South Street. Once you arrive, use the camera app on your smartphone to scan the QR code for destination #1. Each QR code will direct you to an audio clip about the corresponding tree. The tour finishes at Maines Field.
"On behalf of the MassTrails Team, MassDOT has completed a feasibility study of the 68.5 mile mid-state section of the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) between Belchertown and Berlin. The current ownership, condition, and existing use of the original railroad corridor along this Central MA stretch varies greatly.
Some sections have been converted to a shared-use path; some sections are in public ownership with an intact railbed. Other sections are active railroads while still others are now in private ownership and the original railbed has been obliterated or converted to different uses.
The vision for the MCRT is to convert as much of the original 104-mile rail corridor as possible to an east-west, off-road, shared use path/greenway connecting Northampton to Boston."
The newest off-ramp on the N'ton trail has opened connecting the North St/ Market St neighborhoods to the bikepath. Yahoo! #northamptonma#northassoc... See MoreSee Less
