Some users of the BLT Trail may have noticed something new on their walk – a beautiful new mural on the Highway 103 overpass. Although graffiti, when expertly done, is a well-recognized art form, this was not necessarily the case for the haphazard collection that covered the 103 overpass.

The Blackbook Collective Art and Clothing, a company formed by local artists, was contacted to undertake the project. The Collective designed the murals, engaged a talented group of artists to do the work, and executed the project in a matter of days.

The Five Bridges Wilderness Heritage Trust, with funds from the Bay Treasure Chest, the Woodens River Watershed Environmental Organization, and the Rails To Trails Association shared in the costs of this delightful project.
