FOHR Exhibit - Wellfleet Library -- July 22 - Aug. 1
A Celebration of the Beauty, Heritage, and Environmental Importance of the Herring River
| |
|
Many artists and photographers have joined forces loaning us their work to create a wonderful exhibit now hanging at the Wellfleet Public Library.
It presents the beauty of the Herring River Estuary in oil and watercolor paintings. Photos show the rare birds found in the estuary and a wonderful new photo of herring leaving the Sluiceway in December will make the Herring Counters smile. Diamondback Terrapin and Eastern Box Turtle shells are on display. Four large CCNS maps show details of the research necessary for finding the appropriate plans for restoration.
The exhibit is open during Library hours; make plans to see it -- we take it down August 1.
Thanks to Peter Watts, Stephen Broker, Marisa Picarielo, Karen Gausch, Patricia Elwell, Walter Dorrell, Barbara Brenessel, Phyllis Ewen, Shirley Glasser, and Lisbeth Chapman for their contributions.
RECEPTION - 4:00 to 6:00 PM, Saturday, July 27 Don't miss the chance to speak with the artists and photographers on July 27 from 4 to 6 PM at the exhibit. Refreshments will be served.
This is your chance to ask questions about the Herring River Restoration.
