Annual Meeting to Feature Bill Burke,
Cape Cod National Seashore Historian
August 20 -- 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Wellfleet Council on Aging.
The Annual Meeting of the Friends of Herring River features Bill Burke, the Cape Cod National Seashore Historian.  He will speak about the history of the Herring River Estuary and nearby uplands based on a recently compiled park service archeological report.

William Burke joined the National Park Service in 1982 and has worked as an Interpreter/educator and historian at various National Parks on the east coast.   Bill came to the Cape Cod National Seashore in 2000 and currently serves as the Branch Chief for Cultural Resources and Park Historian. 

 

In addition to an update on activities over the past year and a look ahead, there will  be a report on the 2013 herring count.

Last Walk on Bound Brook Island - August 30

The Wellfleet Historical Society and Friends of Herring River will help you explore Bound Brook Island, bounded on three sides by the Herring River Estuary, on a 3 mile, 2.5 hour hike 9 AM-11:30 AM.  The last walk is August 30 and still has some space; a waiting list is kept, but notification is usually very last minute

 

Learn about the island's cultural and natural history - its native coastal and land-based natural resources and how people used them. The hike will start at 9 am at the Atwood Higgins House, Bound Brook Island Road, Wellfleet.

Directions: Rt. 6 to Pamet Point Road, Wellfleet. When Pamet Point Road ends at a T, turn left, drive 1/8th mile and turn right onto Bound Brook Island Road; park on left side of road either before or after the lane to the Atwood Higgins House. 

Maximum of 15 people, so please register by calling the Wellfleet Historical Society at 508-349-9157.
