A new hiking trail map is available for the Kuncanowet Town Forest and Conservation Area. Replacing the classic hand drawn map created more than 30 years ago, the new map is in color and the trail layout is GPS accurate. It includes updated trail descriptions as well.
Big thanks to Dunbarton resident Jon Reckard for his work in mapping the trails and creating the map.
Long-time conservation commission members Ron and Darlene Jarvis brushcutting the trailhead area at Bela Brook
Volunteers made sure the trails in the Bela Brook and Kimball Pond conservation areas were in good shape on Saturday by cutting out downed trees, clipping brush and picking up trash at the trailheads.
Our thanks go to everyone who came out to help!

The Dunbarton Conservation Commission will hold a trail maintenance day Saturday, April 30 from 9:00 a.m. until approximately 11 a.m. and welcomes the help of volunteers in either the Bela Brook Conservation Area or the Kimball Pond Conservation Area.
Work will primarily involve clipping branches to maintain trail width and removing branches and fallen trees from the trails.
We will also pick up trash at the Kimball Pond Boat launch and along Legache Hill Road in the Kimball Pond Conservation Area.
Please register in advance at this link to let us know that you plan to attend and which conservation area you will help with. REGISTER >
If you come to help, please bring clippers, loppers or a hand saw. Packing insect repellent (if the bugs are out by then) and water would also be advisable.
If heavy rain is forecast for that date, please check your email prior to 8 a.m. Saturday for a rescheduling notice. The rain date is Sunday, May 1.
