Two years ago, with the support of the Amherst Conservation Commission two ‘Princeton’ elms were planted on the common, and this year, two ‘Valley Forge’ elms were planted, one in Meadow View Cemetery, and one at Buck Meadow.

Thanks to volunteer Jeff Mazur for designing and building the bridge, and a bevy of volunteers from the mountain biking community that hoisted it into place and completed the installation.
