Bike to Ponds Event Enjoyed By All

Thank you to all of the riders who joined us for our first ever Bike to Ponds event on Saturday afternoon at Roldand C. Nickerson State Park.  We first gathered at the Area Four parking lot and heard Naturalist Todd Kelley explain the history of the park.  Next we rode to the bike path to Middle Road where we observed glacial erratic rocks.  Brewster holds more glacial erratic rocks than any town on Cape Cod.  Then we rode to Triangle and Keeler's Ponds and then on to Cliff Pond where Todd Kelley explained ground water flow and the park's important role in groundwater recharge for Brewster. Then we learned about "pond shore margin" and the fact that many of our pond shorelines display coastal plain pond characteristics and hold rare flora and fauna not found elsewhere.  On our return leg, we recharged with light refreshments at Flax Pond.   Many thanks to all of our volunteers and special thanks to Park Superintendent, Eric Levy and Todd Kelley for sharing their knowledge  and making this great event possible.
