BCT Christmas Tree Sale - 2017!
Saturday, December 9th, 11am-2pm
BCT Members and friends once again have the unique opportunity to harvest their own Cape-grown Christmas tree! Mark you calendar for Saturday, December 10th, 11am to 2am. Park behind the Dimmick barn at 1167 County Road and walk back to the tree farm to find balsam, spruce, Scotch pine, Concolor fir, and more. They come in all shapes and sizes and this year we have put extra effort into pruning and shaping.
Cape Christmas Trees!
This small, private Christmas tree farm nurtures Scotch Pine, Blue Spruce, and Balsam, White and Concolor Firs (and maybe a few other varieties). They come in all shapes and sizes, a few of them are over 10' tall. While these trees are pruned, they are very definitely "natural" shape, each different from the next, each with plenty of room for ornaments. You will never have a fresher tree, and 100% of the proceeds is a donation to the Bourne Conservation Trust

BCT on Stage at the Schoolhouse
The BCT has a tale to tell and Grace Rowe, one of our trustees, had the opportunity to tell it at one of the August "Tuesday Talks" at the Cataumet Schoolhouse. More than 40 people came to hear about this most amazing land trust and how the Bourne community helped get this grass roots organization to where it is today.
"It all started when Philip Denormandie and Steve Ballentine crossed paths back in 1980, in the height of a Cape Cod building boom, and discovered they shared a common approach to land: preserve it; keep it in its natural state; when possible, make it available for the pleasure of all. After 40 years of persistent work, the Bourne Conservation Trust, founded by Philip and Steve, has received more than $5 million in donations and acquired 265 acres of open space in the town of Bourne, including marshland, wetlands, woodlands, areas fronting on ponds and cranberry bogs, an island wildlife sanctuary, working farm and historic train depot."

Saturday, May 28, 2016 - A fun day with beautiful weather!
About 300 people visited the farm, for some it was a quick stop in a busy day and others took the time to explode, feed the goats, chat with old friends, make new friends, volunteer to help the CCA (Cataumet Civic Associates) or the BCT, and many left with a treasure or two.
Enjoy our SLIDESHOW of the Barnyard Sale and Family Farm Day (click the link or on the image below to launch photos!):
