Our access to the Town Forest is enabled by our commitment to wearing masks, social distancing, being smart and keep everyone safe. We have to get approved by the Board of Health to use the forest this year. As such, please be considerate of our rules, group size requirements and our Town’s rules. Safety and health – number one priority especially right now.
