Even through rain delays, we all man­aged to ful­ly cel­e­brate both Light Up the Lake and the Boat Parade! The parade was the most suc­cess­ful yet with over 30 boats par­tic­i­pat­ing and the cre­ativ­i­ty was off the charts! 

The votes are in… receiv­ing 54% of the total votes… Jaws takes it! Con­grat­u­la­tions on #4 to the Sweeney Fam­i­ly. Round­ing out the top three are The Lob­ster Trap (26%) and Mar­di Gras (10%). Thank you to every­one who par­tic­i­pat­ed in both events. Pho­tos are post­ed to Face­book. Feel free to tag yourself!

Sud­bury Val­ley Trustees (SVT), Meta­comet Land Trust (MLT) and the Town of Upton are col­lab­o­rat­ing to pur­chase the 66-acre Kel­ly Prop­er­ty and add it to the Con­ser­va­tion Area so that the com­mu­ni­ty can always access the entire trail network.

Part of the trail net­work at Pep­per­corn Hill in Upton cross­es pri­vate­ly owned prop­er­ty (the ‘Kel­ly Prop­er­ty’), that is not present­ly a part of the Con­ser­va­tion Area. These por­tions of the trails—which include the scenic over­look with a spec­tac­u­lar view to the west—could be lost for­ev­er if a new own­er restrict­ed pub­lic access.

Please help save the trails! For updates and to learn how you can help: www.svtweb.org/kelly

Mask-up with your friends and fam­i­ly and join us for the annu­al spring lake cleanup!
Sat­ur­day, March 20th — 9am — 12pm
Pick­up your trash­bags and hand san­i­tiz­er at Sandy Beach. 

We will have a table set up start­ing at 9am in the beach park­ing lot with a map of the lake. We will assign indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies areas to clean up so we can hit as many places around the lake as pos­si­ble. We are hop­ing to take advan­tage of the low water lev­el to get areas around the shore­line!  

We ask peo­ple to please keep a safe dis­tance from oth­ers and wear their masks at all times.

Please send us an email if you have any ques­tions or concerns.
