PCT Fundraiser – November 10th

October 6, 2013 by Michael Caron

     

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.

It’s A Jungle Out There!

July 6, 2013 by Michael Caron

On Saturday June 22nd members of PCT did some trail work clearing the way for the Old Trolley line to be mowed in the fall so the meadows can be retained.  We cleared the path of a number of invasives including Autumn Olive, Oriental Bittersweet and Wild Grape. The latter two had weighed down and broken a number of tree branches. It was a very hot and humid day and a few of us caught some poison ivy. Thanks to John Bator, Rebecca Belofsky, Elaine Williams, Michael Caron, Molly Goodwin and Roger Anderson for all your efforts.

Annual Spring plant sale a success!!

May 20, 2013 by Michael Caron

One could not have asked for better weather for the Spring plant sale.  At 8 am a number of people descended upon the Big E’s parking lot to pick their garden favorites. A steady stream of patrons purchased plants as well as tickets for the raffle and silent auction throughout the morning. Proceeds from all sales totaled $2,455.00. A big Thank You to everyone that participated.

Thanks to Dominoes Pizza for contributing free pizza to the hungry PCT members manning the sale.
