Exploring Secret Tiny Worlds at Fuller Farm — Mark Kesling of The daVinci Pursuit invited participants to look closer—literally—at the mosses, lichens, and tiny ecosystems often overlooked. Through sketching, journaling, and scientific insight, the group discovered the magic of nature’s miniature worlds. 🔍🎨 This program was part of BLT’s eARTh Connections series, supported in part by the Mid-Cape Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Reading the Landscape at Bell Farm — As part of the Town of Barnstable’s Spring Walking Weekend, UMass Professor Emeritus Jack Ahern led a thoughtful walk through Bell Farm in Cotuit, helping participants uncover the land’s layered past—from former cranberry bogs to wolf trees and clues of ecological succession. The walk highlighted the importance of landscape history and conservation continuity, especially as BLT works with the town to protect the adjacent Monteiro property, a key link in a growing greenbelt across Cotuit.
