The weekend of May 4-5 was busy for the BPC! Our events began on Saturday, May 4 as we hosted a Spring Herring Run Eco Paddle with our business partner, SUPfari Adventures. Six participants joined the paddle and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the waters of Upper Mill and Lower Mill ponds. Ryan Burch, owner of SUPfari Adventures and Senior Shellfish and Natural Resource Officer with the Brewster Department of Natural Resources, and his guides explained the system of ponds making up the Stony Brook Herring Run, the history of fishing for herring in Brewster and Cape Cod Bay, and the steps the town and state are taking to protect the herring population. Below is a photo of the group before they took to the water. On Sunday, May 5, the town held the annual Brewster in Bloom Parade. The parade was full of floats, displays, and marchers, capping off the weekend’s activities that celebrated Brewster’s history, beautiful landscape, artistic community, and local businesses. For the second year, the BPC had a float which highlighted our mission and featured Board members and “Shelly the Turtle” waving to the crowd (pictured below).
