proposal.
The Wellesley Trails Committee submitted a Statement on Protecting the North 40 to Town Boards. Read
it here:
The skies cleared for a beautiful ribbon-cutting ceremony in August of 2019 to celebrate the opening of the boardwalk at the North 40 Vernal Pool, which
provides both access and protection to this important resource.
Selectman Jack Morgan and NRC Director Brandon Schmitt addressed the large crowd in attendance, and lead volunteer Bill Giezentanner had the honor of
cutting the ribbon. The boardwalk was funded by the Community Preservation Act (CPA), and built with over 500 hours of volunteer labor.
