Trailblazing a path that has been neglected for far too long, we envision the Franklin Woodland Trails as a popular destination for family picnics and recreation, letting our children enjoy the great outdoors, a small creek and quaint bridges that help all of us get back to nature.
Only steps away from Main Street, this network of nature trails can transport us into a whole new world.

6th-grade students removed man-made debris and cleared some rough walking trails -- Chris Larkins remembers raking during school recess.
The faculty committee was organized with other community members and a forester was involved. The GOAL was to have outdoor classrooms AND community enjoyment and they understood that as Reisterstown changed and became more suburban there would be an even greater need to preserve places for children and adults alike to be close to nature.
Enter Jeanne Andrews, a certified Master Naturalist and Librarian who in 2018 had a vision, joined the board of Reisterstown Improvement Association and the work started. The gallery below shows our vision of what the Franklin Woodland Trail can become with continued community involvement and support. We still have a way to go... but, we can get there together.
