Trails Committee · Meeting of September 22, 2026
CARLISLE — The Trails Committee and Select Board discussed trail connection priorities and town-wide acquisition strategy. About 50 connections are identified in the Open Space and Recreation Plan, mostly on private land; Chair Alan Ankers noted the committee receives no direct funding but has applied for a $20,000 Community Preservation Act grant over five years, supplemented by all-volunteer labor. The Select Board asked whether the committee ranks priority connections and expressed intent to work with the Trails Committee, Planning Board and others on town-wide prioritization, potentially taking a leading role in approaching private landowners.
