BPC Donation to the BCT

Situated between the Long Pond Woodlands and the Sea Camps Property, lies a 2.05-acre parcel bisected by WH Besse Cartway. At the Brewster Town Meeting in May 2026, voters approved $275,000 in Community Preservation Act funding for the Town’s acquisition of this parcel. The parcel is located upgradient of Long Pond, within the Herring River Watershed, and partially within the Zone II Wellhead Protection Area. The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) is seeking to raise $25,000 for a Conservation Restriction to protect Brewster’s water quality. The parcel also provides important wildlife habitat, promotes biodiversity, and will help expand the Woodlands trail network.

Protecting our water quality is also the main priority for the Brewster Ponds Coalition. At its July Board of Directors meeting, members unanimously approved a contribution of $1,000 towards BCT’s campaign. Pictured below accepting this donation are (left to right): Michael Lindgren, member of the BCT Board of Trustees; David Jacobs, BPC Board member; John Keith, BPC President; Charles Sumner, President of the BCT Board of Trustees; and Kevin Kearns, BPC Vice President.
