The Pascommuck Conservation Trust
Preserving our past. Protecting our future.
On a cold October 24th Saturday morning 6 volunteers showed up to help Kevin Mulligan with the Mutter Field upgrade. It consisted of bringing wheelbarrows of loam to shore up the plastic boards, followed by spreading grass seed and covering with hay. Gravel was also brought down to cover some of the bare spots on the trail.
If you happen to be driving on East Street you can see the scarecrow that PCT members put together as part of the Easthampton Citywide Scarecrow Contest.
Due to the weather, attendance at the fall ice cream social was down somewhat. Despite that the Trust took in $303 for the raffle, $30 from the sale of Jerry Garcia ties and $79 dollars in donations for a grand total of $412.
TruNorth Bank (formerly Easthampton Savings Bank) recently gave PCT $5,000 as part of “The Giving Tree” program. The program is to reflect the roots they have in the community, the commitment to making a real difference in the neighborhoods they serve, and the belief that we can enhance everyone’s quality of life if we work to solve our biggest problems—together.
We thank TruNorth Bank for their support of PCT’s goals of “A Place in Nature for All.”
Under the services category the Trust came in as a finalist along with the Hilltown Land Trust. The Kestrel Land Trust was the winner for the Best Land Trust category. Here is a link to the entire Gazette supplement.
