Over a decade in the making, a new report entitled “Cranberry Agriculture and Water Quality in Buzzards Bay'' addresses the role that cranberry bogs play in the management of nitrogen and phosphorous in our region.
Construction to restore natural habitats at the Mattapoisett River Reserve is currently underway. Trails at The Bogs are currently closed, and the trails and parking area at Tripps Mill will be temporarily closed starting Tuesday, January 16.
Please enjoy other nearby trails that will remain open.
As part of ongoing conservation efforts in the watershed, Buzzards Bay Coalition (BBC) is working to protect vulnerable lands on Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven, in close proximity to Buzzards Bay. As part of that effort, BBC will be selling a property containing agricultural fields and a single family home at 427 Sconticut Neck Rd.
We seek potential private buyers interested in purchasing the property subject to a permanent conservation restriction that will allow continued agricultural use of this working farm but will limit development to a 2 acre portion of the site.
The property is near other protected conservation land in a wonderful landscape with a unique location near the bay but with easy access to nearby highways and the population centers of the Southcoast & New Bedford. Excellent agricultural soils recently in hay & corn.
The property will be available to viewing by the public on Saturday, October 14th from Noon to 4PM and Wednesday, October 18th from 1PM to 5PM.
Strategic preservation of open space is one of the most effective ways that the Buzzards Bay Coalition protects water quality, wildlife and sensitive coastal habitats like salt marshes. It’s also critical to the maintenance of our region’s remaining working farmland.
