EAST BAY ROAD MAKEOVER
East Bay Road in Osterville is beginning to show results of the invasive species
removal program begun in 2009. Last fall the beautiful but invasive Norway Maples
were removed, allowing native "volunteers" that were struggling beneath them to
flourish. Young beech trees, crabapple trees, and Kousa dogwoods are now evident.
Work still remains. Some young locust trees and invasive plants such as staghorn
sumac, honeysuckle, bittersweet, and others need to be removed.
If you'd like to lend a hand with the East Bay Road makeover, we're glad to have
you! Red Bansfield, BLT Land Management Coordinator, will be working on the property
most Saturday mornings. If Saturdays don't fit your schedule, or you'd like to tour
the "new" East Bay, please let Red know.
Summer is almost here...get outside! Contact Red at 508-771-2585 or rbansfield at yahoo.com.

BEARSE PROPERTY
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
When Debby (Bearse) McLister and her sister-in-law Linda Graham decided to donate
a .80 acre parcel, BLT was thrilled. Behind the upland that fronts on the scenic
roadway is an old cranberry bog. The land is known habitat for the eastern box
turtle and falls in the recharge area to the Centerville River.
"I am pleased that we are able to help maintain at least a small part of the Cape
in its natural state," explained Debby. "I always thought we should give the land
to BLT. In my mind, it is the right thing to do."
Linda added, "I am delighted to be able to do something to help," noting that her
late husband Larry Bearse would have approved of the gift of his family's land.
According to BLT Executive Director Jaci Barton, the Bearse gift helps preserve
"a fragile ecosystem and is an oasis for wildlife. The steps the family has taken
will ensure that the land is never developed."
(More about the Bearse gift will appear in the next issue of Resources)
