The Wampanoag Design Team will Present the Paomet Monuments Study
Monday, August 25 at 5pm
Join us to review the draft proposals for monuments honoring Truro’s Paomet people and their connections to the land. Hosted by the Truro Historical Society and Truro Historical Commission, the Wampanoag Design Team will present proposals for four locations: (1) Truro Pamet Park, site of the Farmers Market (see sketch), (2) Corn Hill, (3) High Head, and (4) the Pond Village pond site. The study is funded through Truro’s Community Preservation Act revenues.
Free Admission.
Wild Fire Preparedness
Thursday, August 28 at 6pm
A roundtable discussion with local, regional, and state officials, fire chiefs, and key representatives of the Cape Cod National Seashore will update our community on what is being done and what should be done to prepare for and prevent a natural disaster. Lack of funding has allowed hundreds of dead trees and understory to go untouched for decades, posing risks for an area where thousands live and vacation. Fire roads now impassable, narrow access roads, and the lack of fire protection perimeters around the hundreds of houses within the National Seashore are among the many issues that will be addressed, as well as new CCNS permitting procedures for clearing. It is hoped the public roundtable will lead to the creation of a cooperative disaster preparedness plan for the region.
Free Admission
