Dear Editor:
The primary purpose of a Performance Evaluation is to measure, document, coach, and hopefully improve the performance of an employee. I'm flattered that the Herald quoted my words in the Town Manager's evaluation extensively, but I am concerned that the publishing of carefully...
Dear Editor,
I want to remind everyone that Groton Conservation Trust has again hidden Harlan the two-foot gnome on one of their 36 conservation properties. There is an ice cream treat for the first finder of this gnome.
We want to encourage people to get out and enjoy the outdoors and nature...
Dear Editor:
The Groton Greenway Committee thanks everyone who came to the 2015 River Festival. It was perfect day spent with both new and old friends. A record number of people were able to have a boat tour of the newly installed Fitch's Bridge, enjoy music by Snow Crow and the Pebble Bottom...
Dear Groton Residents,

Quote from last weeks story, 'Groton's Wildlife Paradox Exposed and Explained': Much of Groton has been designated as 'core habitat' for endangered species by Massachusetts.
A statewide map shows that areas of endangered species habitat in the whole Commonwealth are not huge. But if you look at...
Dear Editor:
Groton Turtle Conservation would like to thank the people of Groton who have actively engaged in the protection of our turtle population. We have been amazed by the outpouring of interest, knowledge, and concern for these remarkable creatures.
We have heard countless stories of road...
Dear Editor:
I am a frequent user of Nashua River Rail Trail. I ride my horses there 2 or 3 times a week. A few courteous bike riders will let me know they are coming, and I always thank them for doing so, but the vast majority go whizzing by with no warning that they are passing. I just heard of...
