The
CTC, Salisbury Coastal Trails and the Institution for Savings in Newburyport
will jointly sponsor a walk on the proposed rail trails in Newburyport and
Salisbury. The walk will start at Battis Grove on Washington Street in
Newburyport at 10 a.m. and will continue to the rail bridge overlook at the
bank of the Merrimack River and then cross to the Salisbury side to walk the
Old Eastern Marsh Trail. The walk will be led by Tom Horth and Jerry
Klima who will talk on the history of the Old Eastern Railroad and the varied
ecology and natural history of the area. The walk is about 4 miles of
easy walking round trip, and will take about 3 hours, including lunch.
For those who don't want to walk back to Newburyport, rides will be available
from Mudnock Road in Salisbury.
The
Institution for Savings, soon to be opening new branch in Salisbury Square,
will provide lunches for the participants at the Town Creek viewpoint. If
you would like to reserve a lunch, please call Mary Anne Clancy at the bank at
978-462-3106, extension 1224. If you don't get her directly, please leave
a message with your name, phone number and the number of lunches you need.
