Mascoma River Greenway

http://www.mascomagreenway.com/ Let's complete the western end of the Northern Rail Trail! The MRG will run from downtown Lebanon to the VT border.

The Mascoma River Greenway ("MRG") is envisioned as an improved bicycle and pedestrian route along the former Boston & Maine corridor. The Greenway will run from the current terminus of the Northern Rail Trail at Spencer Street in downtown Lebanon to Westboro Rail Yard in West Lebanon.

Because they bloom early in the season and feature accessible flat-topped flower clusters, they are an essential food source for short-tongued insects, butterflies and specialist bees....
