Melissa Moody, a Girl Scout working with Site Supervisor Erica Aubin, has put in place a remarkable signage project running along the Quinobequin Road trail, downstream of Hemlock Gorge. Instead of static signposts, she has installed interactive signage with QR barcodes. Go have a look and bring your smartphone and QR barcode reader. It’s the future of nature trails, and we should plan something similar for Hemlock Gorge, perhaps with the Troop 242 Boy Scouts. Melissa’s website is www.qbqtrail.org.

The original post stated that the site had been taken down in 2020. However, I have since found that it is working again in 2024, although some images are missing. Also, the date might not be accurate because all I know is that it was after April. -Charles
