[SEMCO] Rachel Carson Statue to be Dedicated in Woods Hole This Sunday

[Andrea Early]

A life-sized bronze statue of environmentalist and writer Rachel Carson (1907-1964) will be unveiled on July 14 at 2:00 PM at a ceremony in the Marine Biological Laboratory’s (MBL) Waterfront Park, Water Street, Woods Hole, Mass. The statue commemorates Carson’s ties to Woods Hole and Cape Cod. 

The ceremony will include talks by the statue’s sculptor, David Lewis, and Cheryl Osimo, president of the Silent Spring Institute, and will feature musical performances by “Singers By the Sea.” Representatives from the MBL, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the National Marine Fisheries Service will also participate. All three institutions shaped Carson’s love of the ocean and science. 


The ceremony is free and open to the public.
