This committee, with support from ML and its contractors, maintains and improves these trails and the 20 benches that are installed along them. Supported by, and represented on, the Arboretum Coordinating Committee, the committee uses hand tools to maintain the trails. It also prepares trail maps, installs trail markers, and refurbishes benches along the trails. Herbicides or dangerous power equipment are not used. ML and its contractors support the work by using power tools to remove large trees blocking trails, mowing trails, removing brush piles created by our trail maintenance work, and depositing woodchips and other materials to make trail sections safer and more appealing to walk. Residents and others are encouraged to enjoy the Medford Campus Arboretum by hosting a Pathways trail walk and regularly scheduled \u201cWalk and Talk\u201d trail walks for residents and local area residents.<\/p><p>Located on a Sharps Run, a branch of the Rancocas Creek, a dock is maintained for canoe and kayak enthusiasts, as well as a rack for both personal and public storage of
