Mission

About us

The Andover Trails Committee is a citizens committee including members of the Conservation Commission, the Appalachian Mountain Club, Andover Village Improvement Society, the Bay Circuit Alliance, The Trustees of Reservations, and just plain folk who appreciate the outdoor recreational opportunities of Andover. It was founded in 1971 as a town committee and reactivated in the spring of 1991 to focus on the establishment of the Bay Circuit Trail in Andover.
The committee continues to support Bay Circuit Alliance projects. It is also working on the Shawsheen River Greenway initiative. The Andover Trails Committee will continue its work to increase the public's access to recreational trails by publicizing trail events, seeking volunteers to work on trails, raising funds for trail improvements, and working with regional groups to create trail networks.

​
Mission
The mission of the Shawsheen Greenway is to make the River corridor a vital recreational, cultural, transportation, and educational resource for our
entire community and region

How it will function
By working with the landowners and a broad array of community groups and Town government it will act as the catalyst for building land and water trails, access points for walking, pedaling, paddling, fishing, and passive recreation while promoting economic and conservation values of the adjacent lands.

Purpose
It will link the community to its past, neighboring communities, and promote appropriate new use and enjoyment of the corrid
