West Newbury: Local residents have a new walking and hiking trail to enjoy within Essex County Greenbelt’s South Street Woodlot property in West Newbury. This past week, six crew members from the Student Conservation Association (SCA), Massachusetts, assisted Greenbelt staff members in completing the new trail on four contiguous parcels of conserved land, totaling 30 acres. The trail is about a mile in length and includes 3 sections of boardwalk through wetlands, each between 100 and 140 feet long. The six-member SCA crew, consisting of three men and three women, all in their early twenties, cleared the entire trail and built the boardwalks starting on Monday July 29, finishing up Friday Aug 2.
