Eco-Paddle is a Splash!

---

​Fifteen paddlers enjoyed the first ever Eco-paddle sponsored by the Brewster Pond Coalition on a beautiful Saturday morning. Weather conditions were ideal – a cool 62F and sunny with a slight breeze. The group discussed the impairment of the Mill Ponds complex (Walkers, Upper and Lower Mill Ponds,) causes of pond water quality degradation there and the town of Brewster's plans for remediation. A special treat was the brief coffee stop on the deck of one of the BPC members pond-front homes. This paddle was well received and you can expect another in 2018.

Many thanks to guides Jay Olin, Doug Smith, Nancy Gustafson-Smith, and Konrad Schultz and to all who participated.
