Main Street Meadow

The heat-island at 66 Main Street in Everett, MA will be transformed into an ecological space for community enjoyment. Merging ecosystems will guide visitors from one end of the pathway to the other engaging the senses and the use of interactive kiosks. Native and highly rugged species are chosen to combine needed wildlife refuge, sequester carbon, provide shade, cool temperatures, prevent erosion from run-off, and provide a healthy environment for children to older adults to enjoy nature. The area will be low maintenance after reaching maturity. The accessible sidewalk and elements such as a gazebo, children's play area, benches, stairwell, and a paved seating area provide all ages and abilities access to play chess, enjoy art, sit peacefully, and connect with community.
