Up-coming Educational Walk
Putnam Farm Conservation Area

Date: Saturday, April 5, 2014

Location: 50 Bridge Road, Orleans

Time: 9:00-10:00am

Details:

The Putnam Farm Conservation Area, which is made up of 14 acres, was purchased by
the Town in December of 2010. This land has been farmed for hundreds of years and
borders Jeremiah's Gutter. This waterway once served as Cape Cod's first canal, 
allowing individuals to sail between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, dating
 as far back as 1717. The farm was purchased in 1957 by the Putnams and gravel from
under the topsoil was used to build the Eastham Rotary.

Starting in 2011 the Town, OCT, AmeriCorps Cape Cod and community volunteers worked
to remove hundreds of invasive shrubs and restore the ecological integrity of the
site. Those projects were a success and today the parcel is being maintained as 
an early succession field habitat.

Directions: From Orleans center, head south on Rt. 28 towards Eastham (0.4 miles).
Merge onto Rt.6A south and follow to the rotary. Take the second exit onto Smith
 Lane and take a quick left onto Rock Harbor Road. Follow for .2 miles and take 
a right into the Court House. Follow parking area to the back right of the Court
 House and enter the conservation area via a dirt road.

Baker's Pond Walk Recap

On Thursday, March 6th, 2014, Kris Ramsay led a group of hikers on a mile-long walk
through the Baker's Pond Conservation Area off Baker's Pond Road in Orleans.

During the introduction, Kris informed the dozen hikers that the Baker's Pond Conservation
Area and adjacent property in Brewster, with 18.89 acres in Brewster and 15.6 acres
in Orleans, together comprise 34 acres that were once under the ownership of James
Corrigan. At the Orleans May 10, 1988 Annual Town Meeting, a motion passed by a 
2/3rd majority vote, authorizing the Board of Selectmen to acquire the land by purchase,
eminent domain or otherwise for conservation, open space and/or recreation purposes.
