An unauthorized bike route off the Hillside Trail on the Lone Tree Hill, Belmont Conservation Land (LTH) property was reported on April 21, 2023. The route goes down a hill, over a rock ledge and lands below on a very steep hillside. The builders of the route cut down trees, broke branches, removed rocks and vegetation (trees and native perennial trout lily) from the hillside and excavated dirt by digging and leaving dangerous pits.
There has been earlier unauthorized bike activity at Lone Tree Hill, but this is the most dangerous and damaging. At the ninth annual LTH volunteer day on April 22, organized by the Belmont Citizens Forum in conjunction with Judy Record Conservation Fund, volunteers closed the unauthorized route and put up signs. The signs were cut down and the route reopened later that day.
If you see something please say something and either contact the Belmont Police at 617-993-2501 or send an email to lonetreehillbelmont@gmail.com Help us preserve this property that is managed by the Town through the Land Management Committee for Lone Tree Hill.
Thank you.
