PRESIDENT’S LETTER BUNKER HILL ROLL OF HONOR

Bunker Hill Roll of Honor Presentation & Annual Meeting Wednesday, November 16, 2016, 6:30-8:30PM

Memorial Hall, Pollard Memorial Library, Lowell

“The men who lived and loved and labored within our

original boundaries and whose patriotism on that day made

it possible for our fair city of Lowell to have existence.”

The Spalding House collection includes some unique

artifacts related to Lowell’s history, including a Bunker Hill

Roll of Honor. The parchment document lists the names of

men from Chelmsford, Dracut, and Tewksbury, who fought at

Bunker Hill. LP&CT worked with the Northeast Document

Conservation Center to restore the brittle document and to

remove it from its cardboard backing. Generous donors in

each of the four communities mentioned in the document

have contributed toward the restoration.

Please join us at a special event to unveil the Roll

of Honor. A Bunker Hill Monument park ranger will speak

about the Lowell area’s role in the Battle of Bunker Hill,

helping to bring this document to life.

TEENS DESIGN GREENWAY ENTRANCE

Spindle City Corps (SCC) teens carried out several projects this

summer to improve the Lawrence Street gateway to the Concord River

Greenway. Photo from left: Thay Naing, Rithany Kheam, Judith

Rwakabuba, Carlos Torres, Eliezer Mendez, and Richard Maker

Greetings! What a

beautiful summer with

long stretches of clear

skies. Unfortunately,

those cloudless skies

made for an exception-

ally dry season. This

was most visible when

the Concord River

dropped to half of its

historic low flow for

several weeks. You probably saw your gardens wilt in the

heat, and now you may be seeing the foliage changing on

trees impacted by the drought.

From the river bottom to the tree tops, our entire

ecosystem has been stressed. Water conservation has risen

to the forefront in a region that typically sees plenty of rain.

Whether our water comes from our rivers or underground

aquifers, we tap into water sources that we all share.

This summer’s drought inspired our summer youth

programs to focus on water — and how it connects us all.

Students explored wetland habitats, watersheds, invasive

plants along our rivers, and water pollution.

Your support provides these summer learning

opportunities for youth of all ages. It’s fun to watch them

assess, protect, and appreciate the resources around them.

Student-led projects this summer resulted in a new

“welcome” sign on the Concord River Greenway (photo,

right) and a video about the environmental impact of our

food choices for use in school cafeterias. Your continued

support is meaningful for these future leaders of

community conservation.

Finally, it is gratifying to see so many new faces,

along with our long-time supporters, at our programs.

Whether you’re interested in kayaking or natural dyeing

(with walnuts!), join us for an adventure outdoors. Join us

for an upcoming event, maybe volunteer, and share your

experiences so more people know about our work.

As fall approaches, let us enjoy the colors of fall, but

also… let us sing and dance for rain!

Best to all,

Concord River at Wamesit Falls (S. Hallissy)

CONCORD RIVER GREENWAY—NEXT PHASE OF DESIGN

This summer eight

students at Lowell High

School, including four

incoming Freshmen,

explored climate change

through the lens of food.

This month-long

program was funded by

an ASOST grant to our

program partners at Mass

Audubon from the MA

Department of

Elementary and

Secondary Education.

There were some memorable “aha” moments, including:

“This is what the presidential stuff should be about…

Everyone’s talking about immigration and borders

and stuff, but this is what’s really important.” -Jose G., during a lesson about topsoil

“I just think everyone should spend more time in nature.” -Amina Bangura, during a field trip to the Urban Farm

LP&CT RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT

GRANT SUPPORT FROM: CHANGING LIVES

The Concord River Greenway provides a critical missing link in the regional trail network, including the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and Bay Circuit

Trail. Two (orange) sections of the Greenway are now in final design, led by the design team at Brown Richardson Rowe and the City of Lowell. Join

us for a Concord River Greenway Tour, October 15th, 10 AM, offered as a part of Lowell Walks (will include sections 2A and 2B above).

This color version of the newsletter has been funded by the Land Trust Alliance — in anticipation of the redesign of our website and newsletter.

“Without this organization our

thoughts would not have gone to

planting those two majestic trees

that will now bear witness to

generations in our community.” - Amy & Jason Perry

LP&CT hosts an annual Soiree, a fun backyard celebration of the solstice. This year’s event, held in June, was graciously hosted by Lisa Gwiazda and Matt Donahue. Many people contributed to the success of the evening, but we would be remiss in not mentioning Cindy Meklenburg’s beautiful floral arrangements and Thomas O’Hearn’s On The Spot photography. Thank you all for a great evening!

Speakers included Lindsey Black, a first-time

locktending volunteer with our Concord River whitewater

rafting program, and Amy Perry (photo below, left), a

participant in our first-time homebuyer tree planting

program (offered in partnership with the Merrimack Valley

Housing Partnership each spring). They both spoke to the

impact of these programs, which Amy so aptly noted above.

Thank you to all attendees, volunteers, and donors!
