Lowell Leaders in Stewardship - in ACTION!
November 6, 2014
|
Students in the Lowell Leaders in Stewardship (held in partnership with LP&CT, Mass Audubon, and the Lowell Public Schools) were invited to speak at the Land Trust Alliance National Conference in September. Students spoke about how the program affected their lives, helped them build confidence, and how they learned about the important natural resources in the city of Lowell. They stole the show to receive a standing ovation from 80 attendees! Enjoy this video of highlights from their presentation - we hope you are inspired by these incredible young people! A special thank you to the Land Trust Alliance for making this event possible! |

Concord River Greenway
 |
The Concord River Greenway Park (also know as the CRG or Greenway) is a multi-use trail through the green heart of Lowell. Parts of it run along an old railroad bed, while it contours the scenic, tree-lined, north-flowing Concord River. The Greenway is an excellent place to enjoy being outdoors, recreate, exercise and enjoy observing a biodiversity of wildlife from otters and foxes to hawks and mergansers. We anticipate, in the long range vision of the park, a link from the Greenway to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (the BFRT has a trailhead by Showcase Cinemas in Lowell) See trail connection map here. We can use your help via membership support. To learn more about the history and science of the Concord River Greenway, visit the Greenway Classroom pages. |
