The Pascommuck Conservation Trust
Preserving our past. Protecting our future.
On October 23rd at 3 pm members of the Pascommuck Trust as well as those from the community gathered to officially break ground to begin phase 2 of the Mutter’s Field accessible trail which will be the actual construction of the trail itself, a parking lot off of East St and an adverse weather shelter. The no groundbreaking aspect of the ceremony is explained in the YouTube video below.
Phase 1 of Pascommuck Conservation Trust’s latest project, Mutter’s Field Accessible Trail has just been completed. We had to do an expensive repair to the culvert at the East Green St. entrance and this is what it looks like. This will be an entrance for the trail and will provide access for us to maintain the site. We expect to begin soliciting contractors to construct the East. St. parking area and the trail itself in the near future.
PCT is still seeking additional funding in the amount of $25,000 from donors such as yourself to reach our ultimate fundraising goal!! 
In 2013 PCT received a Local Hero Award award from Communities Involved in Sustaining Agriculture for the following:
For the past few weekends members of the Pascommuck Trust have been performing trail clearing along the newly acquired Pomeroy Meadows parcel. Conservation Works has also been hard at work installing bridges and steps along the designated trails.
The Pascommuck Conservation Trust is holding a fundraiser at Easthampton Community Center 12 Clark Street, Easthampton on November 10th at 2pm. Wayne Perrea will be presenting a historical discussion on the Loudville Lead Mines. There is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person however larger donations are certainly appreciated
If you would like to know more about this interesting part of Loudville’s history, please join us.
The Loudville Lead Mines is a historical discussion and exhibit offered by Wayne Perrea. As a Loudville native, Wayne has a lifetime acquaintance with the mine sites which were discovered and first worked over three hundred years ago. Artifacts and minerals unearthed at the sites will be on display, as will historical maps, writings and tools of the mining era, which Perrea has collected over the years. Hear about the six different mining “booms” that took place in this small village that borders Easthampton, and learn of the current condition and status of these mines. Questions are completely encouraged throughout the talk.
Wayne lives in Shelburne Falls Ma. with his wife and daughter. He works for Eddie’s Wheels, where he builds wheelchairs for disabled dogs. He also enjoys hiking and motorcycle riding.
So, bring your questions and perhaps your stories. Find out how George Washington, Ethan Allen and Col. John Pynchon’s cow fit into the story.
