Nunckatessett Greenways
The Nunckatessett Greenway Project is an effort to create a non-motorized network of land and water trails along the 14-mile Town River and the regional Bay Circuit Trail in order to provide links to public conservation areas and the centers of West Bridgewater and Bridgewater, and to walking trails at Bridgewater State University. The vision is to connect the two communities to their natural history, and to their past through the reuse of historical sites such as Holmes’ Hill, War Memorial Park, Iron Works Park, Stiles & Hart Conservation Parkland and the Town River Landing.The program is being carried out by the Natural Resources Trust of Bridgewater, a local non-profit (501 (c) 3) serving the Bridgewaters for over a decade.
