NEW PROPERTY PURCHASE - 2026
The Bourne Conservation Trust has made a deposit and signed an agreement to purchase 7.34 acres of land, at 940 County Road in Pocasset. This beautiful parcel borders undeveloped Barnstable County Hospital land and the cranberry bogs that access Red Brook Pond Conservation Area; an ideal spot for future trails and wildlife habitat.
If all goes according to plan, the purchase will close sometime 'in 2026. After that, you can bet the Trail Meisters will be out there, loppers and chain saws in hand, clearing new trails for all of us to enjoy. So yes, the rumors are true, BCT is growing again.
And to make it happen, we need your help to raise $650,000 for this exciting addition to protected open space in Bourne.
The BCT Endowment Matching Gift Fund
Sometimes Good News Gets Even Better, a Million Times Better!
We are pleased to announce that our 2025 matching grant challenge has been met! Thanks to your support, we’ve raised $250,000 for our endowment fund during the first five months of this year.
Over the course of this two-year campaign, our endowment has grown by $1,000,000—a milestone that helps to ensure the future strength and stability of the BCT. We extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed, whether your gift was large or small. Together, we’ve shown just how strong and committed our community truly is.
For those who haven’t yet had the chance to donate this year - there’s still time to make a difference! We rely on your support to meet our everyday needs: delivering programs like Eyes on Owls, building new sunbathing platforms for our beloved goats, installing benches for rest and reflection, covering essential administrative costs, and, of course, maintaining trails, open fields, and scenic vistas.
Your continued support is vital to the BCT’s ongoing success.
Thank you for being a part of our mission.
Thanks to generous donors in 2024 and 2025,
our two-year goal has been met.
