The community is inching closer to completing the highly anticipated Pioneer Valley Rail Trail (PVRT), thanks to the generous efforts of volunteers and cycling enthusiasts.
With residents and volunteers from all walks of life contributing to its success, this project has been one driven by the community - for the community.
Brothers Ryan and Evan Corry, who own the local bike shop Corry Cycles, are among the treasured names of many who have supported the rail trail from the very beginning.
Ryan Corry, continuously donates his time and equipment to clear the trail and has been instrumental in bringing the project to fruition. With the support of his machines, the once-overgrown path is now well on its way to becoming a fully accessible rail trail, ready for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.
Councillor Alison Jones has rooted for the project since its inception and is thrilled to have seen the trails come this far with the help of the communities “quiet achievers.”
Cr Jones emphasised the crucial impact that the Corry brothers along with numerous volunteers have had in the lead up to the opening of the trails and said that, "Everyone has played a part, and we couldn't have achieved what we have without them.
“Out of all the volunteers that we have in our community, most of them are quiet achievers and that’s how things get done.
"They have done an enormous amount and we’re eternally grateful for the volunteering and time that they have given.”
