TOPSHAM

Volunteers will meet Thursday at 5 p.m. on the Topsham end of the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge to spread grass seed along the Topsham side of the Androscoggin Riverwalk.

“Snow and ice from the harsh winter took a toll on grass planted after improvements to the Riverwalk were completed in October 2013,” said Nancy Randolph, cochair of the Riverwalk Advisory Committee. “We want to reseed the bare patches before the summer heat.”

Volunteers are invited to join members of the Riverwalk Advisory Committee in this effort and asked to bring a rake.

The Androscoggin Brunswick Topsham Riverwalk is a 1.25-mile loop path along the river between the historic Androscoggin Swinging Bridge and the Frank Wood (“Green”) Bridge.

To date, improvements to both bridges and to the Topsham section between the Swinging Bridge and Summer Street and the creation of parks and parking areas at both ends of the Swinging Bridge have contributed to the goal of making a safe, fully-accessible, year-round walking and biking path.

The Riverwalk Advisory Committee is planning “Light on the River,” a major art show and sale, for Oct. 25, 2014, to raise funds to continue improvements on the Brunswick side of the river.
