The pond calendar that people were used to purchasing each year has been revised this year to include nature pictures and scannography art created by Marty Klein. The calendars are $20 and are available for purchase at the Big Red Frame gallery, 43 Main St, Easthampton, MA 01027 as well as the Farmer’s Market, 116 Pleasant St., Easthampton on November 30th. We are grateful to Sue Walz for the many years she devoted getting the pond calendars made and sold.
Recently it was discovered that a memorial bench near the Manhan River was missing. Pascommuck board members scouted the area to see if it was dumped in the river or carried elsewhere. Considering the weight of the bench it would have taken a group of people to move it. The Dwyer area has been the scene of other vandalism as there was painted defacement on some trees awhile back that needed to be removed.
If anyone has any information regarding this bench please contact us here.
This years Easthampton High School student recipient of the Pascommuck Conservation Trust Scholarship, given in memory of Ed Dwyer, is Lisa Buttrick who plans to attend UMass and study Applied Plant and Soil Sciences.
CONGRATULATIONS LISA!
A number of cars and people were in the general area of Williston Ave. on Saturday due to the fishing derby taking place. Despite that, a steady flow of people came to find bargains at the tag sale. The Trust took in $381.00 from the tag sale and $576 from the raffle for a total of $957. Thank you to everyone who participated.
