Welcome to the Friends of Natick Trails!

We support trails in Natick, with a focus on the Cochituate Rail Trail. We organize programs and events, help with maintenance and enhancements, and welcome your participation as a volunteer, member or sponsor.

  • We invite sponsorships on the Cochituate Rail Trail to support events and improvements to the CRT. We offer sponsorship opportunities including benches, bike repair stations, and historical panels available for sponsorship. Revenue from these sponsorships flows to a Town of Natick fund that supports maintenance and improvements on the trail.
