Webster - Where Trails Are Worth Walking

Next FWT Board meeting is Monday, February 13, 7:15 pm, at the Webster Recreation Center in Room 219 (1350 Chiyoda Dr). All are welcome to attend.

REMINDER -- Dogs are to be kept on leash on all Webster trails. Owners may be ticketed for off-leashed dogs.

The Friends of Webster Trails is a non-profit organization serving primarily as a volunteer arm of the Webster Parks and Recreation Department. When Friends of Webster Trails was established in 1997 its only activity was the maintenance of the Hojack Trail. In 2002, we built a nature trail in Vosburg Hollow. With the Town's acquisition of open space properties, Friends of Webster Trails has now built trails in Finn Park, the Whiting Road Nature Preserve, the Gosnell Big Woods Preserve, and the Bird Sanctuary Trail. FWT has also created several connecting trails (for example, the trail connecting the eastern end of the Bird Sanctuary Trail to the Chiyoda Trails at the Webster Recreation Center) and continues to work on creating trails in Webster (for example, the Four Mile Creek Preserve).

Webster trails contribute to community health by providing people of all ages with an attractive, safe, accessible and no-cost place for exercise in the out-of-doors. The trails provide a place for cycling, walking, running, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in a natural environment away from the noise, fumes and dangers of roadways.
