About the Turners Falls Pathways Project
The project aims to involve community members in a collaborative and creative process to redesign part of our community space. We will be transforming two town owned sidewalks into artistic and landscape designed pathways through the woods. The Pathways will serve as a unique and artistic feature of Montague as well as a pleasant and inspiring path to encourage people to walk downtown. The Pathways is a collaborative project of Turners Falls RiverCulture, Brick House, School Based Services and Franklin Hampshire Career Center

Ms. Bischoff is an Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture and a Faculty Advisor with Commonwealth College with 28 years of teaching experience. Professor Bischoff has published numerous articles and book chapters on community and open space design. Her work has received merit awards in research and design from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and the Boston Society of Landscape Architects (BSLA) Professional Awards Program. Her research focuses on the cultural influences that shape the landscape with an emphasis on historic identity and landscape character.
