Would you like to have safe off-road biking and walking in Branford? Are you eager to see more trail being built? Come work on the Branford team of the Shoreline Greenway Trail, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to building a 25-mile continuous path for bicyclists, walkers and hikers on the Connecticut Shoreline from Lighthouse Point in New Haven through East Haven, Branford, and Guilford to Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison.
The Branford team is strong, but we find that we need volunteers to help us with some specific activities. If you have interest and skills in one of the following areas, please contact Judy Miller, SGT Chair, at j.miller@snet.net 203-589-8335.
