Land Donated to HCT in Saquatucket Watershed The Harwich Conservation Trust has received two land donations in the Grassy Pond/Saquatucket Harbor Watershed. The land donations help to protect the water quality of Grassy Pond, Saquatucket Harbor, and a potential vernal pool.  The land fronts Bank Street and Grist Mill Lane. Click here to read more.

Thank you Harwich Voters!   Right now, feisty herring are swimming upstream through their namesake river past 6.5 acres with 300 feet of undeveloped shoreline. Chattering kingfishers zip across the river, bird song rings in the trees, and other wildlife are on the move as spring unfolds. The land, water, scenery and wildlife will be protected in the near future because last night Harwich voters at their Special Town Meeting unanimously voted to purchase and preserve this 6.5-acre landscape next to the Town’s Bell’s Neck Conservation Lands on the Herring River. Walking trails will be available after the town buys the land. Thank you Harwich voters for supporting this important land preservation project to protect land, water, wildlife & our shared quality of life on Cape Cod.  Click here for a map.
