MassTrails Grant awarded to Medway for accessible trail at Adams Conservation Area

The Baker Polito Administration recently announced $4 million to support trail improvements across the Commonwealth. $50,000 was awarded to Medway. Select Board chair Maryjane White attended the announcement ceremony at the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich. The funds will be used to design and construct a quarter-mile accessible loop trail and parking area at the Adams Street Conservation Area, the first ADA accessible nature trail in Medway. Located along the long-distance Medway Link Trail, the accessible trail will begin at a parking area on Adams Street that accommodates year-round use and parking for 8-10 cars. A kiosk with educational information and trail maps will highlight the trail’s features including an accessible wetland viewing platform and rest stops with sitting benches. Additionally, efforts to restore and enhance the native ecology of the meadow through invasive species management continue through a manual cut of woody species and herbicide applications.
