Hey FB friends, Concord, the host city of the MRGT, recently applied for a grant that will get us on our way constructing the Merrimack River Greenway Trail. When local folks found out, they started sending letters of support. Wed like to share a few excerpts with you. This first one is from our friends at the Capital Area Wellness Coalition: ...the Merrimack River Greenway Trail is an important, healthful addition to the built environment.... The Trail itself is being proposed to encompass three important factors for health and wellness in the individual. The most obvious is creating a safe and inviting place to enjoy physical movement. Staying physically active is extremely important for overall health. The...Trail will be used by families and in-town residents and employees ... it creates another wonderful Concord-flavored location for social connectedness. This inviting path will allow more people to receive their daily dose of Vitamin N - that is, some time spent out in nature. These are all important factors in the overall health and well-being in individuals and therefore the overall health of our community. We urge any foundations or sources of public money to offer financial support to help make the Merrimack River Greenway Trail a reality. (That last line is our fave!) Thank you Margaret Fletcher and all our friends at capwellness.org!
