The Riverwalk project in downtown Dover follows the Cocheco River from the Central Ave Bridge to Chestnut Street and will eventually join the Rails-to-Trails project currently underway. The mission is to revitalize this neglected area by removing overgrown shrubbery and invasive species to be replaced with specific low maintenance plantings including rhododendrons and ground clovers. The idea behind minimal maintenance, aside from cost and labor, is to ensure this valued public path and park does not suffer from neglect in future generations. Participants include Strafford County Master Gardeners and interns, landscape architect Norm Fracassa of Landcare Associates, children and families from Dover Housing Authority, and any community member who volunteers for the Riverwalk project.
