We’re kicking off the transformation of the Middletown landfill summit into a nature trail loop on Thursday, July 17th at 9AM.

When this trail is complete, it will have educational signs, benches, and an elevated wildlife viewing platform.

Here’s what we’re doing!
We’re clearing weeds and overgrowth so that our partners in the Middletown Land Use Department can mark out the path for the new nature trail.
Why do this?
This is the crucial first step in creating a wonderful outdoor space for everyone in Middletown to enjoy. This area will be a natural oasis in the North End, providing a healthy space for exercise, fresh air and time in nature, listening to and watching coastal and wetland birds and an amazing view.

Mugwort and other weeds on top of the landfill need to be cut down.
BYOG – Bring Your Own Gear: Whatever you have that can cut through tough weeds.
- Weed whacking tools
- Loppers
- Gloves
- Refillable Water Bottle (Extra water and snacks will be provided by the Jonah Center)
When: Thursday, July 17th, starting at 9 AM. Stay as long as you can!
Where: We’ll meet at 180 Johnson Street, right next to the Recycling Center. You can park anywhere in the lot, then walk up the wide gravel path to the top.
