PRESIDENT’S LETTER BRUCE FREEMAN EXTENSION
Community Support Helps
Trail Expand into Lowell
The Bruce Freeman
Rail Trail (BFRT) is
expanding east and west at
the same time.
The trail currently ends at a tunnel under Route 3 near
the edge of the Cross Point parking lot and the border with
Chelmsford. Soon, the trail will extend through Cross Point
and under the Lowell Connector to the edge of the Target
plaza parking lot. Part of this connection passes over land
where the Gervais auto dealership will be expanding.
This extension of the BFRT became more of a reality
when the Gervais Auto Group agreed to grant an easement for
a trail right-of-way, as a part of the dealership expansion.
The public support shown at the Conservation
Commission and Planning Board meetings went a long way
toward gaining the approval of those boards and we greatly
appreciate those who took the time to attend those meetings.
The Gervais Auto Group also generously agreed not only to
allow the Bruce Freeman Rail trail to extend onto this land,
but to pave a portion of the BFRT as well! By granting a trail
easement, the Gervais Auto Group has provided the link to
someday connect with the both the Concord River Greenway
and the LRTA terminal.
ANNUAL MEETING
Hike the Great Wall along the Northern Canal Walkway Saturday, November 18, 2017 10AM-2PM
This ranger-led 3-mile round trip walk will start at the Boott Mills,
venture to the Spalding House where you can take a break, enjoy a
brown bag lunch, and join in our Annual Meeting presentation, then
head back to Boott Mills.
I follow, follow, where thy waters run Through unfrequented, unfamiliar fields, Fragrant with flowers and musical with song; Still follow, follow, sure to meet the sun, And confident that what the future yields Will be the right, unless myself be wrong.
The Two Rivers, Sonnet II
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The fall equinox has ushered in cooler temperatures,
colorful foliage, and a bountiful harvest. As fall moves along,
we New Englanders can appreciate this change and know why
Thanksgiving is a special day.
Aldo Leopold explained conservation as "a state of
harmony between men and land." Our role as a land trust in an
urban environment is not only to acquire, protect and make
accessible open spaces for all to enjoy, but also to educate
especially our youth. Your support has helped us expand our
after-school environmental program, offered in partnership
with Mass Audubon, to nine schools. Several of our inspiring
graduating seniors spoke at our Summer Solstice Soiree. This
new generation clearly understands the importance of
harmony.
These youth are fortunate to have two beautiful rivers
that run through our city, each with their own unique access.
This fall we’ve begun permitting for the final stages of the
Concord River Greenway, in partnership with the city. Soon,
more of the river’s banks will become more “frequented” and
“familiar.”
Thank you to all who support our efforts, both through
your donations and through volunteerism. Your contributions,
small or large, are essential for our success. Please take the
time to get out and visit our open spaces and participate in our
programs. Help us share in the “land ethic” that Aldo Leopold
wrote so eloquently about.
Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Changing Lives - Summer Programs
During the summer our team of environmental
educators ran five different month-long
Lowell Leaders in Stewardship programs
throughout the city. These programs are
offered in partnership with Mass Audubon’s
Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary and the
Lowell Public Schools. Youth of all ages get to connect with
and explore the rich natural resources right in their city.
Incoming ninth-graders at the Freshman Academy’s
Compass Program learned about how green spaces can
reduce climate change impacts.
Bartlett School students started each session with a
walk along the canal to encourage their observation skills and
curiosity. The walks led to questions about local wildlife and
pollinators. They made signs to remind people to “Save the
Milkweed” for monarch butterflies.
Greenhalge students explored their schoolyard with a
scavenger hunt, finding a variety of insects and plants. They
also had many animal visitors from Mass Audubon’s Drumlin
Farm—including a duck that laid an egg during her visit!
McAuliffe students, armed with bug nets, ‘hunted’ for
insects around their schoolyard, placing any caught insects into
a ‘bug house’ so they could make observations up close. They
also visited with a screech owl, a turtle and a snake.
Every year, we’re fortunate to work with Spindle City
Corps. This outstanding group of young men and women get
to work on a project of their choosing that enhances Lowell’s
green spaces. Corps members decided to focus on Jollene
Dubner Park, a property that many of them have visited
growing up in Lowell. The students worked through many hot
afternoons to clear invasives from the riverbank, exposing a
view of the river we haven’t seen in a long time.

among others) who were awarded the SuAsCo River Stewardship
Council’s River Steward Award for their work, including
organizing a watershed-wide youth conference last March.
Volunteer Appreciation — by the Numbers
Over 300 volunteers pitched in last fiscal year to steward
our properties, help in the office, improve trails, and count fish,
among other tasks We celebrated all of the individuals and
groups that support our work during a fun event at the Spalding
House last summer. Thank you, again!
We had a terrific spring season with anadromous fish
monitoring with over 50 volunteers making over 260 observations
at the Centennial Island Fish ladder. As a pilot year, we couldn’t
have been more impressed by the commitment of these monitors,
especially considering the tough weather conditions!

Council
Meet LP&CT’s growing staff team!
Thanks to your support, we've grown to five staff
now, including two new faces this fall.
Emily McDermott, Stewardship & Education
Manager, most recently served as a volunteer and outreach
coordinator at Pinnacles National Park and also served two
years with Americorps in Massachusetts. She's happy to be
back in her home state and to join the Lowell community.
Leigh Cameron, Environmental Educator, got to
know the Trust when she brought her family to our Kids’
Week events. Leigh currently chairs the Garden Club
Federation of Massachusetts' Environmental Studies
School. Leigh is happy to switch from research in the food &
beverage industry to her passion for environmental education.
Many of you will also recognize Kathy Hirbour, a
long-time educator with the American Textile History
Museum. She joined us a year ago, teaching in the after-
school program. She has a keen interest in the Spalding
House, so expect to see the house museum open more.
Bora Poun, once a student in our programs, now
teaches in our after-school program while going attending
UMass Lowell.
With the arrival of Emily and Leigh, we extend a
fond farewell to Carolyn Meklenburg as she follows her
newfound passion to graduate school at Tufts in Urban
Planning & Environmental Policy. She'll stay involved with
the Trust through class projects and research. We already miss Carolyn's positive energy, creativity, and can-do
approach to any project!
The Trust is fortunate to have the energy of this
terrific, fun team working to "create community through
conservation!"
