Volunteers typically take care of the extensive trail system of Mt. Tom State Reservation and the near 13 mile New England National Scenic Trail ridge-line that extends from Holyoke to West Springfield. Here are some of the key reason why we do:
- Passive recreational resource in need of constant care.
- 22-plus miles of trails, hilltop views, picnic spots.
- Help protect a wide variety of plant, animal, and aquatic habitat.
- Economic asset to Holyoke and our four abutting sister cities.
- Close to eateries, two golf courses, shopping, and public transportation.
- Bottom line is Mt. Tom Impacts heavily on the quality of life.
Want to stay in touch with other volunteers? An informal group concerned with the future of the range meets periodically at Mt. Tom State Reservation to share ideas for events and making reservation and ridge-line improvements.
