A walk around Breivogel Ponds by Andy Jablon

Learn more about mosquitos with us in this fascinating informal presentation by Gabrielle Sakolsky, Entomologist & Superintendent of the Cape Cod Mosquito Control Project! Here Gabrielle agreed to give an intro to Mosquito Control in a virtual presentation to the Stewardship Coordinators for land trusts on Cape.

David Foster, Harvard Professor and former Director of the Harvard Forest, and Zoe Cardon, Senior Scientist the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, MA discuss the importance of community-scale forest in the fight against climate change. Forest preservation can happen at many scales, from National Parks to our own backyards, but often overlooked are the relatively large blocks of land preserved by land trusts, towns, and other organizations. Alone and together, these forests provide habitat, respite for people, and – so importantly now – carbon uptake and storage. This video was part of the Falmouth Forum, presented jointly by the MBL and The 300 Committee Land Trust of Falmouth on April 30, 2021.

The return of the osprey is one of the greatest conservation stories of the last 30 years. Mark Faherty*, Science Coordinator at Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, will shares insights on the resurgence of the osprey population on the Cape.

A virtual talk by author and professor Douglas W. Tallamy Hosted jointly by The 300 Committee Land Trust (T3C) and the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC)

T3C and volunteer Mike Tucker conduct an illustrated Zoom presentation on these beautiful and mysterious creatures. Mike Tucker’s involvement in the world of birds began over 40 years ago with his first pair of binoculars. For the past 30 years, his career and volunteer experience has included a wide range of field biology and education. Mike continues to share his passion about birds through birdwatching trips, talks and workshops.

For the 2020 Annual Meeting

Join videographer Alison Leschen as she explores many of Falmouth’s open spaces in spring to relieve stress and marvel in the wonders of nature during this challenging time.

In this video, a drone flies over the Coonamessett River north of John Parker Road to showcase the progression of the river restoration project. The 300 Committee is supporting the Town of Falmouth in this amazing project to restore native wetland habitat for dozens of fish and animal species. A river walkway, the Coonamessett Greenway Heritage Trail (CGHT), is being created to provide public access through more than 280 acres of permanently protected open space along the entire river.

The Coonamessett River in East Falmouth, MA has long been altered by humans, first with mills, and then with cranberry farming. This drastically depleted the historic herring run, from millions of fish per year to around 20-30,000. There are now plans to restore this river by removing the blockages and sand, re-channeling the river, adding woody debris, and allowing the natural wetland seedbank to bring back a healthy wetland ecosystem. This will benefit not only the herring and other fish like Eastern Brook Trout, but also other wetland species such as river otters, turtles and many birds. A corridor of conservation land will provide trail access along the entire river, and kiosks explaining the natural and human history are planned along the way.

April 2017 Town Meeting voted unanimously to have the Town of Falmouth and The 300 Committee are embarking on a collaboration to permanently protect the landmark Tony Andrews Farm and associated lands along the Coonamessett River in East Falmouth, a total of more than 46 acres. The goals of the project are to protect all the land in perpetuity, keeping the Farm parcels as working agricultural lands and preserving the waterfront lands for conservation, passive recreation, water quality and habitat. We hope you will support this great project!

This video features Falmouth residents and officials describing the positive impact open space has had on Falmouth, and howcases some of the beautiful areas The 300 Committee has helped preserve.

There are so many benefits to getting kids outside in nature, yet so few kids get out these days.

Kestrels are America's smallest raptor. Their populations are slowly coming back after being decimated by DDT use. Learn how The 300 Committee is helping with this effort by installing nesting boxes and banding the birds to help with research.

The Breivogel Parcel was a sand mine for years. In 2016, The 300 Committee created 5 vernal pools and a sandplain grassland. Both are rare habitats in Massachusetts and provide essential habitat for numerous species. Learn about the restoration.

In 2016, the 300 Committee signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement on a 70-acre parcel called Shallow Pond Woodlands. Take a tour of the property and learn why this land is so special.

The 300 Committee owns a number of parcels along the Coonamessett River corridor, and is in the process of acquiring more. One reason is to protect this historically important herring run, which has been decimated by pollution, dams and other impediments. Learn about the herring tagging program that is providing information that will help with restoration efforts.

In 2016, The 300 Committee partnered with NOAA/Stellwagen Marine Sanctuary for a fun family day of learning about whales. See Salt, the incredible inflatable whale, and learn about these amazing creatures.
