Joe's Driving Range WILL become Teaticket Park!
The 300 Committee purchased the 10.7-acre driving range on Teaticket Highway from Bill and Donna Vieira on December 30, 2011. Long-awaited news has finally arrived from Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affiars: our project to convert the land to a community park has received a $500,000 PARC grant! Plans for Phase I of the park conversion are moving forward.
Check out the concept plan, designed by Stephen Stimson Associates Landscape Architects:
Please stay tuned for news of upcoming events in support of Teaticket Park, and let us know if you would like to be involved in any way in this exciting project.

Waterfowl Safari
(
A Joint Program with Mass Audubon)
Join T3C birding enthusiast Molly Cornell and Mass Audubon's Ashumet Holly Wildlife Sanctuary director Ian Ives on an adventure to see the wintering ducks, mergansers, geese and swans that are feeding -- and resting -- in the salt water inlets that lace the shore of Vineyard Sound. We will also look out into the Sound for loons, rafts of sea ducks, and and other birds that are out there!
Meet at the parking lot by the entrance to Falmouth Harbor on the Falmouth Yacht Club side (east side).* We will carpool from there to several birding hot spots, depending on where the water is open. No experience is necessary; beginning birders are always welcome!
Dress for the weather. It can be brisk! Bring water and a snack,binoculars/scopes if you have them.
* Directions: At the intersection of Main Street and Davis Straits, take Falmouth Heights Road south to the water. Turn right into the parking area at Falmouth Yacht Club. Questions? Call Molly Cornell: 508-540-7652
