The first vote to acquire the two Brewster Sea Camp properties passed overwhelmingly on Sunday, September 26th. However, this purchase, which requires a debt exclusion, needs one final approval at a special election on October 5.

You may vote in person at The Brewster Baptist Church, 1848 Main Street Brewster. Polls will be open from 7am until 8pm.

If you have any questions please call 508-896-4506.

The Board of The Brewster Ponds Coalition unanimously supports the acquisition of these two parcels.

The Brewster Sea Camps parcels acquisition vote today was overwhelming!  A record of 1495 residents attended the special town meeting.  The tallies?   1492-3 in favor of the Long Pond parcel acquisition.  1494-1 in favor of the bay beach parcel acquisition. 

Now, onto the next vote at the October 5th Special Election. Learn more here. 

Well done everyone! 

Due to questionable weather predictions, the town meeting to vote on the acquisition of the Sea Camp properties by the town of Brewster has been rescheduled to Sunday, September 26th at 1:00, check in begins at noon.  As before, the meeting will be held at Stony Brook School, 384 Underpass Road. 

Please note that, although a town resident has recently publicized her bid to buy the Sea Camps and made some promises, the Board of the Brewster Ponds Coalition has not changed our position.  The board unanimously supports the purchase of the two Sea Camps properties by the town of Brewster for use by the public.

This is an important and unique opportunity.  Town ownership of the properties is the only way to assure control of future use, be it public access to the bay beaches and Long Pond, conservation in a watershed sensitive area, or development that is beneficial to the townspeople such as a community center on the property.

Stand with us.  Attend the town meeting and vote “YES” to purchase the Sea Camps!

The Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center has two jobs available in this innovative and rapidly growing field.  One is for a Project Assistant and the other is a Lab Technician. 

The Project Assistant will work on a broad range of projects, with a focus on I/A system management, maintenance, and monitoring. Applicants should be just as confident behind a desk as they are out in the field, with strong initiative and an ability to learn quickly.

The Lab Technician will be assigned to the EPA STAR Water Reuse grant, working alongside our Microbiologist at the MASSTC lab to do viral surrogate analysis on I/A systems and treatment plants.​

The details are on the County website: https://www.barnstablecounty.org/barnstable-county/employment-opportunities/

This guided walk through “Sheep Pond Woodlands,” preserved by Brewster Conservation Trust, meanders along wooded paths and rough rocky roads, wanders along paths with views of the pond, by a favorite fisherman’s landing and passes an old cranberry bog and a “borrow pit.”

Walkers are requested to bring water and/or medications that may be necessary and to wear comfortable walking shoes. Time for the walk is estimated to be slightly more than an hour. Pace is a bit faster than leisurely. Folks most likely to enjoy this walk will have had some experience walking wooded paths with some minor uphills and some rough paths.

*FREE to BPC Members.  $10 for all others.

The New England Water Environment Association presents this free webinar for an update on a New Generation of Enhanced I/A Septic Systems. Although the objective of this webinar is to educate water, environmental, and health professionals on progress and recent developments in distributed, enhanced I/A septic systems that produce effluent Nitrogen levels, BPC members who are interested in learning more about these systems are welcomed to attend virtually.
