Work on Dalton's Pines Accessibility Trail Continues

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Work on the Pines accessibility trail continues, with hopes that it will be completed within the next several weeks. 
 
Since the last correspondence with Greenagers Conservation Director Elia DelMolino, work was anticipated to continue on Monday, Open Space and Recreation Committee Chair Brandon Quail said last week. 
 
The trailhead, located behind the Senior Center, is a hidden gem in the area that needs to be protected, and more people should know about it, committee members previously said. Work on making the Pines trail more usable and accessible began last year. The town's owned the property for about seven years. 
 
The project will make the trail accessible to those with mobility restrictions, including wheelchair users.  
 
So far, it's about a quarter-mile long, and there are plans to extend it to approximately a mile to a mile and a half, Quail said. 
 
The committee has contracted with the youth environmental community organization to develop the trail, utilizing a Massachusetts Trails grant in the amount of $49,450. 
 
Greenagers hires five to eight youths who are paid to create the trail.
