Tuttle Family Protects Local Land, Water & River Herring

7/24/2020

 
Matha Tuttle, long time member of the LGC, reports that to protect windswept wetland, tall oaks, and an active herring run, the Tuttle family donated their 7-acre Oak Island Bog to the Harwich Conservation Trust this May after their family stewarded the land for 132 years. LGC is proud to showcase the Tuttle family donation of the estuary and salt marsh, which flows from Skinequit Pond into Nantucket Sound on Cape Cod. It includes an important run and spawning ground for herring each spring as well as being a feeding and nesting site for innumerable shore birds. Read more from the HCT.  Learn more about the history of the property and the Tuttle family.
