LONG POND WATER QUALITY
The Select Board has supported housing on the Long Pond parcel and the consulting team has put forward options for housing on the northern 12 to 15 acres of the parcel, which are in our drinking water supply area.
Here are three reasons why you should be concerned.
DISCOVER OUTSIDE
Some learned about trees and some learned about soil. All discoverd new sights, smells, and sounds when they used their senses to notice the world around them. Fourth graders from the Eddy School immersed themselves into the lessons taught by teachers from MassAudubon Wellfleet Bay and BCT volunteers. Through this seven-year partnership, BCT has been able to offer hundreds of Brewster school children an opportunity to learn about their natural surroundings. Said Eddy School principal Steven Guditus, "It really shows the kids what it means to appreciate their environment. They learn to value it. To respect it.”
WALK OUTSIDE
Join naturalist Peter Trull at Crosby Landing in Brewster to discover the birds of beach and bay. Explore salt marsh, creek, and dune habitats, then wander the shoreline in search of year-round and seasonal bird species. Possible sightings include horned larks, American pipits, northern harriers, and more through the upland habitats, plus brant, sea ducks, and gulls in Cape Cod Bay. This walk will build your identification skills and teach about a variety of species, including their interrelationships across different habitats. Birding enthusiasts from all experience levels are welcome.
Peter Trull has been involved in wildlife research and education for over 45 years. He holds a Master’s Degree in Education and has written nine books about Cape Cod natural history. Birds of Paradox-The Life of Terns was released in spring 2019 and his most recent book, Cape Cod – Once Around the Sun, released in May, 2023, is a tribute to John Hay and his 1961 classic, Nature’s Year.
