Charm Bracelet 25th Anniversary Hike
Sunday, October 5
1:00 - 3:00 PM
Bowman West
Westborough’s Charm Bracelet trail loop network was created by the Westborough Community Land Trust 25 years ago. It was introduced at WCLT’s inaugural hike at the Bowman West property on October 9, 2000.
We will re-create much of that walk, with commentary about the history of Bowman West, the early days of WCLT, and the work that has been done at that property and our other trails in the past 25 years. The “Father of the Charm Bracelet” Don Burn will be the walk leader.
Meet at Minuteman Park on Upton Road, Westborough.
About 2.5 miles of walking on woodland trails.
Free, open to the public, no reservation needed.
Before leaving check WestboroughLandTrust.org/ for cancellations.

Westborough Community Land Trust
The Westborough Community Land Trust (WCLT) is a private, member-supported, nonprofit organization. The trust was established in 1997 to preserve open space in response to increasing development pressures.
Our purpose is to safeguard land to meet the environmental, recreational, agricultural, and scenic needs of the Town of Westborough and to preserve open space and the character of the land.
We pursue these goals through the acquisition and stewardship of land, educational activities, and advocacy in regard to the health of waterways, aquifers, and watersheds.
To date WCLT has preserved more than 206 acres of land and acts as stewards for close to 400 acres in Westborough.
To carry on these activities, WCLT has Land Preservation, Stewardship, Education, Membership, and Finance Committees.
WCLT welcomes new members from Westborough and the greater community.
What are the advantages of a land trust?
As a nonprofit organization, a land trust such as the Westborough Community Land Trust is able to receive gifts of land, purchase open space, or secure conservation rights. It can negotiate with landowners and developers to achieve balanced growth and undertake creative fundraising for land acquisition. Unlike an official municipal body, a land trust can negotiate sensitive land acquisitions and pursue the financing needed to achieve them in a timely, flexible fashion.
