Millbrook Meadow and Mill Pond Restoration

We are going to check the traps that we set on the 8th and see if we got any turtles. We may also use a few netting techniques. We will show turtles to anyone who shows up (the public) and give some basic information, and mark them by the time honored technique of shell notching.

The Town of Rockport has decided to dredge the Mill Pond in Millbrook Meadow. That said, there are fish and turtles in there that are going to need someplace to go. So... A few people from the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team, Kestrel Educational Adventures, Eric Hutchins, and a few others will be involved in moving turtles and fish to the Loop Pond, which is about a half mile upstream from the Mill Pond.  We also hope to make an educational opportunity out of this and so the public is invited to those times when we expect to see something.

Check out our activities calendar for more associated times. We have started a Conservation Work page for this activity on our website to document some of this work...
