Fitchburg sets Sept. 27 sustainability walking tour focusing on infiltration features and accessibility
Summary
Organizers described a Sept. 27 neighborhood tour starting at Forest Edge School, highlighting infiltration/terrarasa native plantings and stopping at the playground and marsh; the group plans a mid‑afternoon 2‑mile route and discussed accessible options including outdoor wheelchairs and cycling‑without‑age trishaws.
Organizers laid out a walking sustainability tour for Sept. 27 designed to showcase neighborhood infiltration features, native plantings and the boardwalk. "The date is September 27. It's a Sunday... probably around 2 or 3," a committee member said while outlining a two‑mile route beginning at Forest Edge School and concluding with a possible Q&A at a local coffee shop.
The group discussed accessibility supports (an outdoor wheelchair and accessible cycles) and options to include bike‑friendly routes; organizers aim to keep the tour to roughly 90 minutes with multiple stop‑and‑talk stations so participants can ask questions and view demonstration sites.
