Thank you Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for leading the Trails For All Initiative to make Massachusetts one of the most welcoming and inclusive places to get outdoors. AMC was so thrilled to celebrate the launch of the MA Trail Access Work Group at our newest All-Persons Trail at Noble View Outdoor Center and are so excited to get to work to increase access to trails for all!

We had an excellent launch to the Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation’s new Trails for All initiative at the Appalachian Mountain Club Noble View All-Persons Trail in Russell. Trails for All will bring gentle grades, stable surfaces, and inclusive signage to trails across the state – helping us make Massachusetts’ beautiful landscapes more accessible to everyone. We’re grateful for partners like Unpaved Trails for All, Appalachian Mountain Club, and local disability and senior advocates who are helping us make trails more accessible and inclusive for all!

I was honored this week to celebrate the launch of our Trails for All initiative with EEA Secretary Tepper and Undersecretary Cooper. Thanks so much to partners and advocates @unpavedtrails4all, @appalachianmountainclub, and so many other disability and senior advocates who are helping us make trails more accessible and inclusive for all!
Trails connect us all! The Healey-Driscoll Administration launched Trails for All to enhance access for people with disabilities and promote inclusivity on Massachusetts trails. The Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation will lead a Trail Access Working Group to assess trail accessibility.

We don’t know which is scarier – the (fake) skeleton or the deadbeat dam! This jumpscare was spotted by a DER staff member while kayaking earlier this year. After a double take, they realized someone just lost some decorations. Aging dams can cause quite a scare though, especially since most dams in the state were built in the 1700s and 1800s. Not only do they harm stream health and connectivity, but they can also lead to flooding and other public safety risks. Dam removal is necessary especially in our quickly changing climate to build resilience, decrease flooding, and reconnect our waterways for fish and other wildlife. By the way, if you can’t find your skeleton…it might be exploring Massachusetts waterways! 🛶
