The Pascommuck Conservation Trust
Preserving our past. Protecting our future.
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.

The 2024 annual meeting was attended by approximately 35 people. During the business part of the meeting there was some discussion regarding dogs and dog owners on the properties as there have been problems with unleashed dogs. Members indicated that they noticed more wildlife on properties where dogs were not allowed versus those where they were.
Marty Klein, board member, presented an informative talk and slide show about wild mushrooms through the seasons during the second half of the meeting.
Thanks to all who participated.
For those who missed the meeting there are two separate links for the business part and the wild mushroom presentation:

The plant sale was held on a cool cloudy Saturday. Perhaps because of the opening of the Big E as well as a very wet summer the number of people attending the plant sale was not as numerous as previous plant sales during the fall.
Despite the lower number of people attending the sales from plants, t-shirts, and memberships totaled $1,064 and raffle ticket sales totaled $295. The grand total came to $1,359.
Thanks to all who attended and contributed!
