Concord River Greenway - Preservation/Conservation

In designing the Concord River Greenway, great care was taken to maintain the natural aesthetic of the river and to incorporate educational and recreational components into the development in a way that honored the existing environment. The architectural integrity of the historic corridor, including the mills, dams, and arch bridge, will be preserved.

The Greenway incorporates a public art component that includes sculptures of native bird species  as well as text from local authors including Thoreau, Tom Sexton, Paul Tsongas, and  Jack Kerouac.  The artwork is meant to compliment the natural surroundings in a meaningful and seamless way.
