Wachusett Greenways
The
mission of WG is "Connecting the Wachusett Community with Trails
and Greenways."
This mission is being
fulfilled with the maintenance of the White Oak Trail and the
construction of the Mass Central Rail Trail. It is also furthered
by the sponsorship of various trail events and outreach and enrichment
programs. Wachusett Greenways is an all-volunteer organization
with over 400 members, and is funded by private donations as well
as grants from the local towns and state government.

a 104 mile multi-use non-motorized trail being built from Boston

Is the largest trails organization
in the country and the only one devoted to converting unused railroad
lines to multi-use trails. Since 1986, its dream of reconnecting
America with ribbons of green has been taking shape all across
