MATTAPOISETT The Mattapoisett Land Trust’s Santos Farm Reserve will join the Old Aucoot conservation district, adding eight acres to the district.
Selectmen approved the addition at an April 13 meeting, where Land Trust President Mike Hugenin and Allen Decker of the Buzzards Bay Coalition presented the addition.
The conservation restriction for the Old Aucoot District, a 397-acre collection of preserves, will be amended to include the abutting Santos Farm, bringing the total number of preserves in the district to 13.
The Land Trust acquired the property at the end of Bowman Road last December. Until then, it was used as an active farm where pigs were raised.

MATTAPOISETT The Mattapoisett Land Trust is offering an introduction to vernal pools, important breeding habitat for local amphibians and invertebrates, and instructions on how to certify them through two field trips into the Old Aucoot District.
Because of covid precautions, the trips will be divided into two groups of no more than 10 participants each.
On April 17, the trust will meet at 1:00 or 2:30 p.m. at the Holmes Barn on Angelica Avenue.
Participants will proceed north through the woods into the protected lands of the Old Aucoot District.
Then, participants will work with the Land Trust to complete the field work necessary for the state certification of the pool through the commonwealth’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program.
