Latest News
An exciting new walk has been completed at the Peabody Mill Environmental Center (PMEC) / Joe English!
During this past summer, the Teen Adventure Camp based out of PMEC set out to work on a Tree ID Walk project as part of their community service requirement for camp. With the help of Steve Lutz, a Commissioner on the ACC, they spent several days locating, identifying, and marking the trees and bushes with hand-made number "cookies" that make up the extensive Tree ID Walk. After this was completed the NRPC - Nashua Regional Planning Committee assisted with creating the amazing map, brochure, web links and QR codes to help all participants locate each tree or bush and learn a tidbit of information about each.
What a great collaboration from multiple sources to provide a fun and informative walk. I hope you will take some time to come out with family and friends to see how many you can find and identify!
