Summary
Representatives of the Trustees of Reservations requested use of the Quickasheen Rail Trail for free family nature walks on Nov. 1 and Dec. 20; the Park Board asked the organizer to coordinate with Parks staff (Darren Maderas) and put the item on the November agenda for formal approval, but permitted preliminary marketing.
A representative of the Trustees of Reservations asked the Park Board Wednesday for permission to run free youth and family nature-walk events on the Quickasheen Rail Trail, proposing dates of Nov. 1 and Dec. 20.
The organizer, David Canizales, said the events are free environmental-education walks for kids and families; he reported having submitted a request to parks staff in mid-September and said he had discussed the plans with Parks staff member Darren Maderas. The board said staff would follow up and that the organizer should connect with Darren after the meeting to supply any missing paperwork. The board agreed to place the request on the November agenda for formal approval but told the organizer he could begin preliminary outreach and marketing while staff processed permits.
No formal vote was required at the meeting; staff were directed to confirm the request and to prepare the item for the next board meeting.
