MRG Super Quest!

A Sense of Place

 “Attachment to place is connected to a sense of well-being for (our)selves, the community, and the land. As we humans have become more mobile and less rooted, it’s important that we connect to where we live. That sense of place grounds us to the world around us and to each other because we begin to see how, despite differences, we all do care about the place we call home.” 

   Gabrielle Smith, Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative Project Manager

Each year, Vital Communities features a selection of Super Quests that can expand awareness of special places in the Upper Valley, increasing appreciation of this place we call home. The MRG Super Quest is one of those eye-opening experiences, with history, natural beauty, abundant plant and animal life, otherwise hidden from view as we travel RT 4/10 . Even if you already enjoy the MRG, there may be new awarenesses in store in following this guided Super Quest. Be it biking, walking, running, roller blading, cross-country skiing, with camera or plant/tree ID books or apps . . . there are many ways to enjoy the MRG.
