For
the fifth consecutive year, the Trustees of
Reservations (TTOR) Youth
Conservation Corps has worked on building a trail along the south end
of Cook Pond to create a rustic walking path and reclaim and create public
access to this beautiful space. This summer, the crew worked behind Henry
Lord Community School, restoring and creating the Amity Nature Trail
at Cook Pond, along the shoreline. Two years ago the pathway extended from
the Henry Lord property to the boat ramp at Henry Street with permission
from the Fall River School
Department, SouthPointe
Rehabilitation Center, the MA Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation
Area, but that part of the trail has become overgrown. Plans for the state
to reconstruct the Henry Street fishing area are waiting only for the
construction of a paved Henry Street, which has been scheduled. A long term
Mass
in Motion Fall River plan is to continue around the circumference
resulting in a three and a half-mile walking loop. Click here for a
two-and-a-half-minute
