Summer 2006
Fundraising for Cordwood - The Home Stretch
With $150,000 left to go, the Campaign to Save
Cordwood has been extended through the summer. “Though
we were getting close, we needed the summer months to
continue the fundraising and outreach,” according to Anne
Gould, campaign chair. “We’re almost there but these extra
months should afford us the time necessary to raise the money
to Save Cordwood.”
The goal of course is
to preserve the 23 acres
along Cordwood Road that
connect 150 protected acres
which have as their focal
point the Eagle Pond Sanctuary off Putnam Avenue in
Cotuit. To preserve the
land, BLT needs to complete the $3.3 million dollar fundraising effort by the
end of September.
To rally the community, 32 green t-shirted volunteers descended upon the
annual Cotuit 4th of July
Parade.” Crowds lining the streets couldn’t help but feel the
energy and excitement as BLT enters the homestretch of the
year –long effort to Save Cordwood.
Thousands of on-lookers took in the sights and sounds
only experienced once a year. In a Norman Rockwell kindof-way, friends and neighbors gathered to ooh and ahh at
vintage cars. A myriad of kids on decorated bicycles and on
floats smiled broadly as they shared generations of Cotuit
tradition. The Cotuit Oyster Company float celebrated 150
years. Cotuit’s Kettleer baseball team and fire trucks from
all over Barnstable added to the festivities.
In the midst of it all, BLT volunteers pedaled a red and
white surrey with the fringe on top with banners proclaiming “Save Cordwood” – the back way to Eagle Pond. Green
t-shirted kids and adults surrounded the surrey with a flurry
of activity. Handing out leaflets to the crowd they proclaimed
“Help us Save Cordwood, we’re almost there!”
Walking in the Cotuit Parade had an incredible, cozy,
down home feel,” according to Jim Power. “I was really
touched by the heartwarming response from folks who
cheered us on, excited that we are on the verge of preserving
one of Cotuit’s most precious natural assets.”
And indeed now, it does feel as though we are almost
there, especially considering that a year ago when the public
phase of the Save
Cordwood Campaign was
launched, $1.3 million of
the total $3.3 million
project costs remained to be
raised.
In fundraising it is often said that the hardest
money to raise is the first
money and the last money:
the first money because everyone wonders how in the
world so much could possibly be raised; the last
money because people
think that the goal is so
close that others will
take care of it.
In the case of
Cordwood, the first
money came from

who snatched the property from the market and backstopped the project, providing
a window of opportunity for the community to show their
support. That made it possible for Barnstable Land Trust
and the Mary Barton Land Trust to embark upon the campaign to raise the remaining dollars.
Now, a little over a year later, more than 700 donors have
jumped on the bandwagon. A matching grant from the Edward Bangs Kelley and Elza Kelley Foundation was easily

WHY SAVE CORDWOOD?
The 23 acres along Cordwood Road are the “missing link,” tying together the 150 acres of
conservation land. Preservation of these 23 acres will:
• prevent wildlife habitat fragmentation by joining existing protected woodland at Eagle Pond
with the Almy Atlantic White Cedar Swamp;
• retain Cordwood Road, an historic sandy cartpath (dating to before 1830), in its original
condition;
• maintain the integrity of Cordwood Road as a quiet but popular walking trail that is the back
way into the Eagle Pond Sanctuary;
• preserve the scenic quality and Cotuit’s rural seaside charm;
• protect the water quality of Cotuit Bay; and
• preserve down gradient shellfish beds, an important part of our community’s cultural heritage.

GIFTS FROM THE SEA 2006 ~ CHANGE IS IN THE AIR
NEW LOCATION AND LAYOUT GIVE “GIFTS” A FRESH NEW FEEL
The passing of Townie Hornor and the subsequent sale of his property made it necessary for BLT to search out a new
location for “Gifts from the Sea”. We reluctantly began our search, feeling saddened by Townie’s passing and doubtful that
we would ever find a place as beautiful. When we approached Jim McGowan, who owns the house at Bayview Farm, he
embraced the idea. The new location was confirmed: the meadow at Bayview Farm, Route 6A, West Barnstable!
For those hesitant to change, rest assured, the things you have grown to love about “Gifts from the Sea” remain.
We will still have an open bar, a raw bar, and music by “Three Cats & a Dog”. Thankfully Arthur & Barbara Rittel remain at
the helm as Food Co-Chairs - so you can expect the buffet to be as bountiful and the desserts to be as delectable as ever!
So what’s different? First and foremost, the location: Bayview Farm, Route 6A, West Barnstable. As many of you
already know, a portion of Bayview Farm is BLT’s most recent acquisition. In 2004, with the help of several project partners,
BLT preserved 14 of the 40 acres at Bayview Farm. Over the last 6 months we have been actively fundraising to preserve 10
additional acres: the 2-acre upland backdrop and 8 acres of saltmarsh that fringe Bridge Creek. With its open fields and
views of Sandy Neck, Bayview Farm is a wonderful place to celebrate “Gifts from the Sea” and BLT’s accomplishments!
An added bonus to the Bayview Farm location: On Site Parking.
To better highlight the most interesting auction items, the
Live Auction has been expanded. We have some different and
exciting items to bid on! We are also happy to welcome Charles

EARLY SUMMER FUN WITH BARNSTABLE LAND TRUST
POETREE & YOGA
Cordwood Kids PoeTREE Reading & Contest
Nearly 250 Cape Cod poets came out of the ”woodwork” for the
first annual PoeTREE Reading and Contest held on June 24th at the
Cotuit Center for the Arts. Or maybe they came out of the woods, since
all the poems were about or featured trees.
Half of the entries came from fifth and sixth grade students at the
Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School, where teachers used the contest
to explore different poetic forms, such as Haiku, rhymed and metered
verse. An eighth grade class at the Barnstable Middle School adopted
individual trees and really got to know them before writing poems about
them. Cotuit Elementary School students wrote their poems after a field
trip to Eagle Pond, while first graders from Bourne turned the contest into
a cooperative effort by writing a tree-shaped book of poems as a class
project. Mashpee, Dennis-Yarmouth, and Falmouth students also submitted poems, some at the urging of teachers, and others independently.
While the winning entries won prizes and were performed at the
PoeTREE Reading at Cotuit Center for the Arts, the focus of the event
wasn’t prizes, but trees, poetry, and conservation. The reading was an
awareness and fund raising event for Save
Cordwood.
Many thanks go out to Laura Opie and
Cordwood Kids for organizing this fantastic
event, and to the Cotuit Center for the Arts for
generously donating the use of their space for
the reading. Our gratitude also extends to all of
the teachers who engaged their students in the
idea of PoeTREE, and to all of the brave souls
who shared their poems with us. For more info
about Cordwood Kids go to www.BLT.org
Restoring Nature, Restoring Self with BLT & Yoga
Also on Saturday, June 24th BLT held our first ever Yoga Retreat at a
beachfront cottage in Cotuit along the shores of Cotuit Bay. With the help
of Yoga instructors, Diane Kovanda and Catherine Paulson, massage therapists, Linda Harmon and Beth Madden, and all who attended this retreat,
we raised more than $1,500 to benefit BLT.
The idea of a Yoga Retreat was the brainchild of BLT supporter and
Yoga instructor, Diane Kovanda, and BLT staff member, Andrea Seddon.
As Andrea explains, “There seemed to be an obvious connection between
BLT’s mission to preserve and restore the environment to its natural state
and the practice of Yoga to restore and revitalize the body through stretching and deep breathing. What better way to unite the two than to hold a
Yoga Retreat to benefit BLT?”
Diane readily volunteered her services to lead the retreat with the
help of her good friend, Catherine Paulson, a master gardener, horticulturist, and Kripalu Yoga teacher who was more than happy to help out.
Through the hard work and dedication of these two women, and the
open hearts and minds of the attendees, the retreat was not only a great
success, but an inspiration for all who participated. A warm thanks to
everyone who made this event possible. Thanks to your positive feedback, BLT anticipates hosting another retreat in the future. Stay tuned.

Tall and majestic, they climb so high
Almost reaching all the way to the sky.
They come in all different sizes and shapes
There are a lot of beautiful ones here on the Cape.
We have pine and maple, to name a few,
Always offering us an awesome view.
If you look out your window you might see
A beautiful weeping willow tree.
Some have fruit and some may have flowers,
But I love to sit and watch them for hours.

Pine, cedar, oak, or birch,
Trees are a great place for birds to perch.
Eastern White Pine or Weeping Willow,
Some leaves are rough, some soft like a pillow.
Large trunks, thin trunks,
Leaves fall single or in chunks.
Providing shade,
When all of the clouds fade.
I know this paper is almost filled,
But the more paper I use,
the more trees will be killed.
So use less paper and save the trees,
Leave a home for the birds and the bees.

a history, a place in time

REMEMBERING KAY WALCOTT
Kay Walcott loved Cotuit. She met her husband at the former Pines
Hotel in Cotuit in 1938. They settled on the Cape year-round, in 1976.
Kay cherished her time spent outdoors sailing, gardening, bird-watching, and walking her dog Ty. One of their favorite walks was along Cordwood
Road over to Eagle Pond, where Kay could observe the ever changing landscape as the seasons turned. Her love of nature was shared by her husband
Hank who was, for many years, the treasurer of the Mary Barton Land Trust,
stewards of Eagle Pond.
In her lifetime, Kay and Hank made contributions to the Save Cordwood
Campaign and bought doggie bandanas as gifts for friends. According to
Hank, “When Kay died this spring we decided there was no better tribute
than to encourage friends and family to make memorial gifts to help Save
Cordwood. It seemed the natural order of things.”
