Saturday, May 9th 9-4pm

With expected construction of the rail trail later this year, we will focus on clearing brush along the portion of railroad track in the Wayland Historic District and the portions of railroad sidings that will be preserved as part of the future Wayland railroad interpretive site.

The Wayland Historical Commission is sponsoring its 14th annual volunteer Spring brush clearing at the Wayland, MA Depot (1 Cochituate Rd.) on Saturday, May 9, 9am-4pm. Volunteers are needed to help remove brush, vines and undergrowth along the inactive railroad tracks near Wayland Depot. We will also continue to excavate the steam locomotive turntable pit to expose more of the circular granite walls, in addition to removing brush that has grown up along the tracks and the engine house site.

Volunteers should bring work gloves and pruning tools, shovels, and should wear work clothes and boots. For more information call Rick Conard at (508) 358-4597 after 7 p.m. or by E-mail at RRConard@earthlink.net.
