Statement of Vision
The vision of the Walpole Trails Committee is a Town with a varied green network of well-maintained and multi-use recreation and conservation lands that connect a series of open spaces — open to the public today and always.
This vision includes providing access to the Town’s abundant forests and ponds for walking and bike trails; trails for dog walking, bird watching, and cross-country skiing; and habitat for wildlife — an open space within a 10-minute walk for every single resident to visit.
The vision includes clean water resources — rivers, ponds, streams, wetlands — for today and the future; where our ponds are available for fishing, kayaking, skating, and other passive recreational uses.
This vision includes a Walpole with a mixture of both new and old recreational opportunities; where our most significant historic, cultural, and natural resources are saved for future generations.
