Discover the Linda Loring Nature Foundation located off Eel Point Road

Justine Paradis hold an ospreyMost islanders and visitors to Nantucket property are well aware of the established non-profit environmental and land conservation groups.  One such entity that I recently learned more about is the Linda Loring Nature Foundation at 110 Eel Point Road.   The Foundation is dedicated to being stewards of the globally rare ecosystem (known as a coastal sandplain) and fostering learning that promotes environmental awareness.  In the summer, programming includes nature, bird, and butterfly walks, and during the winter, their programming is more school-based.  Future plans include a Nature Center on the property. E. Vern Laux is the Foundation’s Resident Naturalist and Land Manager.

Established in 1999 by Linda Loring as a private operating foundation, it is still in its “start-up” phase, and consists of 270 acres of pristine natural habitat that surrounds the Head of Long Pond.   An 81-acre Nature Trail is open to visitors on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9-5.  Membership is encouraged.  For more information, check out their website, or their trailmap.

An Evening with Cheever

This tragic comedy, based on the short stories of John Cheever, is a journey from the Upper East Side of Manhattan to Suburbs of New York to the North Atlantic coast. Beautifully adapted for the stage by A.R. Gurney, each scene gives you a glimpse into the everyday life of the upper class, revealing each character’s struggle with the life they are supposed to lead and their desire to take a new path. Gurney and Cheever brilliantly bring out the humor in their conflict.

The show features Sandy Spencer, Robin Breeding, John Copenhaver, Laurie Richards, Townsend Ambrecht and Janet Forest.

A Cheever Evening is now playing at The Methodist Church, 2 Centre Street until October 9.

Windwalker’s Weekly Fishing Report – Week of September 13

WWRE Fishing Report PhotoLabor Day is now behind us and the time that many fishermen consider to be the the most exciting of the fishing year is about to begin. All around Nantucket island, the bait is plentiful which should entice the predators closer to shore. Bonita so far have been erratic although there was a good catch at the Bonita Bar off of Madaket over the weekend. The Spanish Mackerel are beginning to show up. Early morning at Great Point is your best bet for these delicious tasting fish. If you catch one and do not want to eat it you can be pretty sure the person fishing next to you will gladly accept it from you.

False Albacore, on the other hand, are not really edible. So far these exciting-to -catch speedsters have not shown up along Nantucket’s beaches but could arrive any day. Only one False Albacore was weighed in yesterday during the first day of the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby. Small Bluefish are plentiful just about anywhere around Nantucket property. Although the water is still relatively warm, a few reports of keeper sized Stripers in the morning and evening are starting to come in.

Speaking of Fishing Tournaments, the month long Nantucket Inshore Classic kicked off yesterday. This is a great way to enjoy fishing on Nantucket in the Fall and to meet other fishermen vying for great prizes and bragging rights until next year. There is still plenty of time to register, so ask about the Tournament at your favorite Tackle Store.
