Find  hidden gem…

In difficult times like these, we need more than ever to find sources of serenity.

Over the weekend, I stayed home and did some serious communing with nature in my yard (in the form of raking and pruning). As I lost myself in my tasks, I felt engaged and content.

I thought of the great value to the soul and spirit of spending time in natural spaces.

We invite you to visit LP&CT’s green and open spaces throughout the city, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of another side of Lowell.

A ramble through Hawk Valley Farm or stroll down the Concord River Greenway might take the edge off the current need for social distancing and provide mood-lifting exercise.

We want to help you find more of Lowell’s hidden gems so you can get out and enjoy the restorative power of nature.
