Friends of Seabrook Rail Trail
We now accept donations on our contact page!
We are a 501 c (3) so donations are tax-deductable!
We will also be selling t-shirts with our own logo soon!
OUR GOAL:
To construct a non-motorized, recreational trail on the Eastern Rail Road Corridor in Seabrook, NH.
This could be our new pedestrian friendly 'downtown village' area that we lost to development!
Who are you?
* The family with young children who want to bike and walk together on a safe and peaceful trail.
* Teenagers who want to roller-blade or walk with their friends on the trail to the Seabrook Rec Center.
* Seniors who want to use the trail from their housing development to the library or shopping.
* Parents who wants a safe place for their children to: walk, run, or bike on a beautiful natural trail, free of motorized traffic.
If we act now, we could have a trail like this:
From This:
Together, we can make this trail a great community asset!
Especially since we have become a destination for NH Tax-free shopping. This traffic has engulfed our town
and there are very few, if any safe roads to walk or ride a bike anymore. Also, not all our children are involved in organized sports and this will give them a safe place to ride a bike, roller-blade with their friends, and get out in the fresh air, hopefully becoming fitter while doing so.
This may even attract many who may not exercise outdoors currently for lack of a safe venue near their homes.
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are gathering a coalition of citizens to make this trail a reality. Please join us!
Let's work together to make this a wonderful resource for Seabrook.
We currently have the support of several partners that are be doing a considerable amount of work, such as technical writing and design, submitting grant proposals, identifying potential funding sources and communicating withNH DOT and other state & federal agencies.
If we don't act now we could lose this resource!
