The goal of the Gateway Project is to beautify the principal entryways to Newburyport. 

 

High Street, Three Corners, Green Street and Merrimac Street have been areas of focus. For instance, since 2015 over 250 new trees have been planted on High Street.

An 8500 sq. foot site planted on the Newburyport Rail Trail with over 30 species native to Essex County. All labeled plants have an edible part: fruit, berry, bud, leaf, flower stem or root.
 

ALL NATIVE, ALL GOOD, ALL YOURS
