Does anyone know who's boosting this project at the Massachusetts end?

Friends of mine who live in central Mass. have hiked most of what has been blazed of a new hiking trail called the "Quabbin to Monadnock (Q+M) Trail". They have shown me a paper trail map they bought in a local store that covers the portion that has been completed, which runs from the Doane Falls reservation in Royalston to the Bearsden conservation area in Athol. That map bears the logo of the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust, but I find no reference to the Trail on the Trust's website. I assume this is part of the "Q2C" initiative.

I know its been discussed here before, but it would be awesome to develop a connection between Monadnock and the Wapack/Mid State/North South Trail. You could then hike from SouthCounty (as RI locals call it) to Sunapee
