Cyclists ride from Maine to Florida |
 |
On September 20, the ENHC and the Coastal Trails
Coalition organized an overnight stay in Newburyport
for a group of nine cyclists participating in the first
ECG Maine to Florida Tour. The following day, the
riders passed through the ENHA on-route to Key
West, where they arrived intact on November 3. The
group, whose members were all over the age of 50,
was the first to ride the entire length of the East
Coast Greenway, a 2,800-mile urban equivalent to
the Appalachian Trail. (Photo credit East Coast
Greenway Alliance)

Partnership Grants Update |
 |
Guidelines for the 2005 ENHA Partnership Grants will
be available in January on www.essexheritage.org.
Funds will be made available for education,
interpretation and preservation projects, as well as
for archives/historical records and trails and
greenways projects.
While we prepare for the next grant cycle, we
congratulate grant recipients who have recently
completed projects. The Essex County Greenbelt
Association produced three "Get Outside" cable TV
programs designed to familiarize residents with the
great outdoors of the Area. Staff from Historic New
England's Little Farm in Newbury and the Haverhill
Historical Society worked together to provide a five-
part workshop on the basics of collections care.
Twenty-seven staff and volunteers from sites aound
the region participated.
