David Gould, Director of Plymouth’s Marine and Environmental Affairs
Guided Walk Along Town Brook Restoration Project.

Interested members of PGC met with David at the Plimoth Grist Mill. We walked with him up the restoration river path. He spoke to us about this project at our February meeting. The walk was about an hour and a half…we’re didn’t rush…just enjoyed all the sights, improvements and information. David is a town employee and can not accept gratuities. However, we, the walkers, made a donation to The Friends of the Plymouth Pound in his name. That is the same organization/charity that PGC donated to when he was our presenter. We were so lucky to have such a beautiful day for this event!

our interesting and informative speaker came to us via the Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary and Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences (formerly Manomet Bird Observatory). Carole spoke to us about plants, especially native plants, that can be used to enhance our ecological systems. The co-dependency of plants, birds, insects and animals truly impact our human life. There is much each of us can do to provide thriving environments for all. A tidbit of trivia: the name Manomet is a native American word that means portage path.
