Support New Signage at the Phoenix Rail Trail!

Every day, people of all ages and abilities enjoy the 4.5-mile Phoenix Rail Trail—a beautiful, traffic-free pathway that connects Fairhaven to coastal forests, salt marshes, and the town's most scenic landscapes. As the Fairhaven Board of Public Works completes an extensive trail improvement project, it's the perfect time to welcome residents and visitors with new entrance signs that reflect the pride and character of our community.

Where do the Green Lanterns come in? After planting around the existing trail signs that had weathered the years, we saw an opportunity to do even more. Our mission extends beyond gardens—and we're dedicated to enhancing the beauty of Fairhaven wherever it's needed! Here, we are asking for your help in funding a beautifully crafted entrance sign at Pierce Park, marking the Main and South Street gateway to the trail. This timeless, carved sign will be made from durable, all-weather materials and mounted on natural wood posts, capturing the classic coastal New England character of Fairhaven.

Once the Pierce Park sign is complete, we'll continue fundraising for matching signs at the Sconticut Neck and Shaw Road trail entrances, creating a cohesive and welcoming identity for the entire Phoenix Rail Trail.

Every contribution, large or small, brings us one step closer to creating a lasting first impression for residents and visitors alike. If you'd like to make your gift especially meaningful, you also have the option to donate in memory or in honor of a loved one, friend, or admired member of our community.

Together, let's welcome everyone to the Phoenix Rail Trail with an entrance worthy of Fairhaven. 💚
