Up-coming Educational Walk
White's Lane Conservation Area

Date: Saturday, April 19, 2014

Location: 33 White's Lane, Orleans

(off Henson's Road)

Time: 9:00-10:00am

Leader: Bob Prescott, Executive Director of MA Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
and OCT Trustee.

Details: This conservation area is made up of four separate gifts of land, which
 were made between 1982-1996. The largest single gift was donated in December of
 1989 by George and Louise White. This gift, which contained more than 8 acres of
land and 1,000 feet of frontage on The River, was donated in memory of their aunt
Sara P. W. Johnston. In 2009 OCT received a $100,000 State Landowner Incentive Grant
to restore the property to an early succession field habitat, while also creating
nesting gardens for the state threatened Diamondbacked Terrapins. The restoration
project was a success and in 2013 nearly 40 Terrapin hatchlings were documented 
as being born on site. Volunteers have also documented numerous hawk species, box
turtles, and song birds.

Directions: From the intersection of Rt. 28 and Main Street in Orleans head east
 towards Nauset Beach for .4 miles. Take the 3rd right onto Monument Road and follow
for .4 miles. Take a left onto Henson Way (dirt road) and follow until the end. 
Parking will be straight ahead.

Putnam Farm Walk Recap

On Saturday, April 5th, 2014, Kris Ramsay, Director of the Orleans Conservation 
Trust (OCT), led a group of hikers on a short walk through the Putnam Farm Conservation
Area off Bridge Road in Orleans.

The Putnam Farm Conservation Area contains 14 acres of land and was purchased by
 the Town in December of 2010 for $360,000, a little more than half of which came
from the State after the Town was successfully awarded a Land Acquisition for Natural
Diversity (LAND) grant. Today the property is under the care and control of the 
Conservation Commission and is to only be used for conservation, agriculture, and
passive recreation purposes.
