Thanx!

The Friends of the Holbrook Town Forest wish to thank all those who participated in the Town Forest Trail Work Day on Saturday October 11, 2008. We especially wish to thank Tom McMann and Dan Ryan for their efforts. With your help we were able to clear large logs from large sections of the Wiggin and Long Trails. Without such strong and hardworking volunteers, we would still be hopping over those logs! Your efforts have helped keep the Town Forest Accessible and “User Friendly”!
Thank you,
The Friends of Holbrook Town Forest

A map from 1949 shows the area where the Holbrook Town Forest and Cranberry Brook ACEC . Note the "Fire Tower" which was dismantled in June 2006 on request of the building Inspector. http://ledger.southofboston.com/articles/2006/06/20/news/news06.txt

Although unmanned for the previous few years, the Turkey Hill Fire Tower provided a vital link in the protection of a large part of Massachusetts, and of course, our own Town Forest!
