WAREHAM - The Wareham Land Trust will celebrate the acquisition of five acres of environmentally sensitive land along the Agawam River at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.

The land, which includes a new kayak launch, was purchased with funds from private donors, environmental charities and the Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, as well as the gift of an additional four and a half acres of adjoining parcels from the A.D. Makepeace Company.

Wareham Land Trust Board member Nancy McHale issued the invitation on behalf of the organization.

“This is our favorite kind of event: one where we can show off the great results of collaboration between the Land Trust and our friends and supporters,” she said. “On Halloween morning, tour our Agawam River Conservation Property, which is now officially open for hiking, bird watching and other low-impact activities. This pristine property includes river frontage and is home to a variety of endangered and threatened species. It is also the location of Wareham’s newest kayak launch.

Cider and doughnuts will be served, and there will be a short Halloween- inspired program.” 

Access to the property is at 12 Knowles Ave. in East Wareham. Anyone who plans to attend should RSVP to Kathy at 508-295-5564 by Thursday, Oct. 29. The rain date is Sunday, Nov. 1.
