“PLASTIC PICK IT UP” AWESOME EAST GLOUCESTER NEIGHBORHOOD KID’S LEMOMADE STANDS FOR A CAUSE
Back row: Elijah, Ben, Jackson, Luca; front row: Meadow, Sophia, Sabine, Atticus
The East Gloucester “Plastic Pick it Up” club is kicking off the summer with neighborhood lemonade stands. All the proceeds go towards initiatives to help rid Gloucester of plastic pollution. Last year they donated the amazing sum of $540.00 to the Cape Ann Maritime Partnership (CAMP) to help purchase a Seabin and Marine Skimmer, marine technologies designed to clean up oil and plastic garbage.
When you see one of their pop up lemonade stands, stop for a delicious glass of homemade lemonade and donate what you can. Thank you!

“A Journey through Cape Ann’s Geologic History to its Present Day Landscape”
The talk will describe how our geologic history over millions of years shaped the Cape Ann landscape we know today.

The talk will conclude with a brief overview of land conservation in the U.S, which has been described as one of America’s greatest ideas.

Ed has been at the heart of Greenbelt’s growth and land conservation success for over thirty years. During this time, he has led the transformation of Greenbelt from a small three-person operation to its current position as one of the most effective and highly-respected land conservation trusts in the country. Ed’s exceptional abilities, integrity and passion for conserving land and nature define him.

June sunsets
I’ve always found June and September to be the best months for sunrises and sunsets, and so far this June has not disappointed! I stopped at the Bridge to grab the tail end of this one Wednesday night. How lucky are we!
