Goose Pond Spillway Bridge Donation Program!
The Greater Goose Pond Forest is a 1,000+ acre community treasure. Our stewardship community and volunteers built the spillway bridge in November 2025, making Goose Pond Loop Trail a true loop!

There is still more to do – in the spring of 2026, we will finish the accessibility components of the bridge – and we need your help. Every donation will continue to be matched – dollar for dollar up to $10,000 – through the generosity of the Savings Bank of Walpole. We’re $6000 away from our goal!

KPRD Community Call: Let’s Talk Red Pine Scale

We brought together state, county, community, and urban foresters for a quick, informative online session about this invasive pest threatening our red pines on Tuesday, October 7th from 6:00-6:30pm. Check out the video recording of the session.

NEW! Pop-Up Opportunities over the holidays! We’re kicking off a slate of winter fun for children and families – join us for inclusive community events and engaging programs!
