[Tompkins, Laurie (DCR)]

The Waquoit Bay Research Reserve will host their annual Watershed Block Party on Tuesday, August 10, from 3:00-6:30 PM at Reserve Headquarters on Route 28 in East Falmouth. This is a great opportunity for the whole family to learn about what's going on in the community. Activities include games, arts and crafts,  science demonstrations with local scientists, fly fishing demonstration and instruction, and a touch tank full of critters from the bay!



Many local organizations will have hands-on activities for kids and provide valuable information on what they are doing to help protect our natural resources. Some of the participating organizations include the Sierra Club, Talbot Ecological Land Care, Mass Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, Mass Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, FACES, 300 Committee, Mahoney's Garden Centers, Nantucket Sound Keepers, Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, National Marine Life Center, Inc., Citizens for the Protection of Waquoit Bay, Cape Cod Children's Museum, and WHOI SeaGrant. Organizations will highlight practical information on ecological landscaping, land conservation, groundwater issues and nature crafts.


Live music performed by FlipSide: Rockin' blues to move your shoes!  Featuring Chris LoCascio and Melissa Roberts Weidman will begin at 4:00PM.

Kenyon's Market and Smitty's Homemade Ice Cream will generously provide complimentary refreshments.   Everyone is welcome to bring along a picnic to enjoy overlooking beautiful Waquoit Bay.  The Reserve's headquarters are located at 149 Waquoit Highway/Route 28 E. Falmouth.  For additional information, please call 508-457-0495 x108.
