Your 2015 Special Edition, 25th Anniversary Issue of the CAVPT Newsletter is speeding toward your domiciles as I type this. Thanks to Colleen Anderson, Nick Taormina, Tracy Bowen and the Fabulous Bevins Family. If you want to recieve a copy of your very own, make sure we have your snail mail address, which you can inform us of by responding to this email.
We’ve been doing some more swamping with Nick Taormina and MERHS Green Team Scholar Ben Alger. More vernal pool surveys. Starting next week we’ll be setting some turtle traps on Essex County Greenbelt property, hoping to find Massachusetts Threatened Blanding’s turtles. If we have a population on Cape Ann, we certainly want to know about it, so we can make sure the habitat remains Blanding’s-friendly.

Have something too big to bring us? Give a call and we may be able to pick it up. Please, no TVs, computers, mattresses or junk. Rick 978 281 3480.
We will need lots of volunteers to help set up, sell stuff, break down and clean up.
