Great Acoustics in the Tunnel!

Sean, visiting Lebanon from Portland, Oregon, enjoyed discovering the piano on his walk through the tunnel with baby Io. He appreciated the tunnel’s acoustics!

A Reminder: The MRG Belongs to Everyone!

Just a reminder that the MRG is a shared-use path; it is a place for EVERYONE, from the preschooler on a tricycle or balance bike, to a hard-of-hearing elder walking a dog . . . and everyone in between. It is not the place for speed training on skates or bikes. Slow down, say hello, and help make it enjoyable for everyone.

Don’t Mind If I Do

Hugging the edge between the MRG and the wilds beyond, this beauty was making herself at home and paused for a pose while photographer Charles Chapman was walking by.

Care should be given to snapping turtles, observing from a distance so as to not stress the animal. It may be obvious that they move slow, but that neck articulates a long way, so it’s best to not try to handle a snapper, because, you know, they can snap at ya.

Plaque it up!

You may have noticed details added to the benches on the Mascoma River Greenway. Thank you to volunteer Todd Caruso, from Hypertherm North America, for giving his time to the community. We hope you enjoy the newest installation on the MRG.

Music on the MRG

“As we were pedaling through the tunnel, four clarinetists, John, Amy, Dan and Chris, were setting up their stands: we stayed to hear them play Haydn’s St. Anthony’s Chorale. It filled our day with joy to hear music under the mall!”  – Rainie and Larry Kelly

We often hear the hoots and hollers as children enjoy their echos in the tunnel – imagine the delightful reverberations of Haydn and these clarinets!

A Sunny Labor Day

So nice to see whole families out enjoying the MRG today!

Monarch!

Just one of the many rewards for creating a pollinator corridor along the MRG!
