Volunteers Needed for Milford Trail Census

The Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail recognize the popularity of the multi-use trail now spanning almost six miles through Milford. Each year we count and tally the number of trail users and their mode of use (walk, bike, rollerblade, dog walk, etc.) 

The collection of this data along key checkpoints is used for current and future maintenance, enhancements and development requirements. 

This year the census is planned for Saturday May 18 (rain date May 19) and Wednesday May 15 (no rain date).  We need about 50 volunteers to assist us at various locations and time slots.  It is a great opportunity for young or old to lend a hand.  

Volunteers will be provided with a clipboard and tally sheet and are asked to commit to a 1-2 hour time period. On Saturday the 18th, counts will take place from 7AM - 7 PM.  On Wednesday the 15th, the counts will be done from 7AM - 9 AM, 12PM - 2PM and 5PM - 7PM. 

To sign up please contact the Friends at trail@milfordtrail.org or by leaving a message at 508-381-8660. 

Please indicate your contact information, preferred day, as well as your first and second choice of time slots. Pat Rosenthal, President of the Friends group will schedule all volunteers and answer any questions.

The Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Senior Center on North Bow St in Milford. We invite all to attend our monthly meetings.
