For marsh lovers, mountain bikers, bus riders

Two meetings coming up at Fitchburg may interest those who consider Dunn’s Marsh “their marsh” and those who are bikers, mountain variety or other.  Bus riders in the Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood may want to attend the DMNA Council meeting on Wed., Sept. 5 where we will hear a presentation about potential bus route changes in the neighborhood.
