The Pascommuck Conservation Trust
Preserving our past. Protecting our future.
For the two days that the estate sale took place the efforts of the Pascommuck board and membership in sorting, tagging and displaying a number of items paid off. The sale resulted in a little over $5000 dollars being raised. Thanks to all those that came out to support the Trust and find a bargain in the process!
Just a reminder that an ice cream social and raffle will be held on October 13th from 10 AM to 2 PM at John Bator Park.
The Saturday Spring Plant sale was held on a very cloudy Saturday. The City hall parking lot was also filled with numerous cars for people attending the fishing derby at Nashawannuck Pond. Despite this, the plant sale took in an impressive $1,793.81 from plant sales as well as $366 for the raffle tickets for a total of $2,159.81. Sixteen new PCT members were also signed up. Thanks to everyone that participated to make the plant sale a success!!
On March 26th PCT hosted a guided walk of Old Pascommuck as well as the Mount Tom North Trailhead as part of the Mass Land Trust coalitions annual meeting. And on May 4th Marty Klein and Tom Lautzenheiser gave a guided tour of the Dwyer conservation area that was attended by 14 participants.
Below is a link to a number of resources sent to us from a representative from Stop Nature Deficit Disorder (website link – Stopndd.org). The document lists a number of resource links to various activities to keep your children busy outside and connecting with nature during these trying times.
