Mill Pond Valley Conservation Area

Time: 9:00- 10:3oam

Date: Tuesday, September 16th, 2014

Location: Meet at 13 Champlain Road, Orleans
Length: 1.5 miles- rolling hills
Walk Leader: Kris Ramsay, Director

Details: In 1975 the Tovrov family placed this property, which is made up of an 
upland valley down to coastal shore, with freshwater ponds and wetlands, into a 
Conservation Restriction, in order to preserve wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, 
and a serene sense of place. To ensure its permanent protection, 21 years later,
 in 1996, the Tovrovs donated the entire property outright to OCT, guaranteeing 
its permanent protection. Hike participants can expect to learn about a number of
the native tree and animal species that can be found on the 12 acre property. This
will be a leisurely educational walk that is appropriate for all ages.
Directions: From the intersection of Rt. 28 and Main Street in Orleans, drive southeast
on Main Street and turn left onto Tonset Road. Follow to Hopkins Lane where you 
will take a slight right. Continue to Brick Hill Rd and bear left. Take a slight
 right on Champlain Rd. and park along the split rail fence on the right. Look for
orange traffic cones and a white Ford Ranger.

Kenrick Woods Educational Walk

On Saturday, September 6th, Kris Ramsay, OCT's Director, led an educational walk
 in the Town's Kenrick Woods Conservation Area off Namequoit Road. While introducing
the property to the 20 hikers, Kris explained that this conservation area was once
part of a 150-acre piece of property owned by John Kenrick II, who lived from 1819
to 1898. Today this land is owned by the Town of Orleans and managed by the Conservation
Commission. The Orleans Conservation Trust holds a Conservation Restriction over
 approximately 20 of the 41 acres preserved within the woodland. This conservation
area is an integral part of an extensive greenbelt on the lower Cape, the largest
contiguous parcel on Cape Cod for groundwater protection, and part of the watershed
contributing to Arey's Pond, which is a sub-embayment of Pleasant Bay.

Release the Terrapins
We are all familiar with the old adage "Build it and they will come". Well, the 
multi-year effort of long hours and heavy labor restoring and maintaining the habitat,
along with dedicated volunteerism at White's Lane is paying off.  The Diamondback
Terrapin females are recognizing the site as a suitable nesting spot and the number
of nests has been increasing every year since this project began in 2009.
