- Hewitt Area Parks and Trails Vision
To plan and develop a network of parks and trails for active and passive recreational activities in the Village of Hewitt and Town of Marshfield is the Mission of the H.A.P.T. Committee. This plan will encourage a healthy lifestyle, promote social opportunities and protect and preserve ecologically sensitive areas.
- Hewitt Area Parks and Trails Mission
"Each of you should think of himself or herself as a person who has inherited a beautiful country estate, and should be proud to keep up that estate, by making such improvements as will increase its beauty. You would be ungrateful heirs if you did not care who left this estate to you. Stop and think how the pioneers first came to prepare the way. They settled on a piece of land with nothing but their covered wagons and a few other items. Out of the wilderness came fertile fields, farm buildings, and cozy log cabins. They labored hard and long and fought to defend themselves.
So with great determination and community spirit, our residents have made great progress and without doubt will continue to make progress, as nothing stands still. Endowed with these virtues, may the next many, many years be even better than the last."
