Conservancy Updates

  • Lead Mills Pollinator Report

    The Marblehead Conservancy Wildflower Committee has taken on the challenge of converting the weed and invasive infested 4-acre Lead Mills site into a native wildflower meadow with the additional goal of rebuilding challenged populations of native pollinators.  We have planted thousands of square feet of wildflowers and shrubs and are making gradual progress.  In order to see how we are doing we have hired a professional entomologist specializing in pollinators to occasionally count them at the Lead Mills.  This report shows the current state of pollinators at the Lead Mills over the growing season 2025.  We will have him update it in future years.  The report is well written and analyzed, with interesting and attractive pictures.

Events

  • Senior Stroll through Steer Swamp Returns!

    By popular request, the Conservancy’s Senior Stroll through Steer Swamp is returning this spring!  Seniors are invited to join Laurie Hark on a stroll through Marblehead’s Steer Swamp Conservation Areas on Friday, April 24th at 9:30 AM. The tour will cover about a mile and a half of trails through gentle hills and will take about one hour and a half.  Laurie, a Marbleheader, who has led tours for Audubon, PEM, and Greenbelt, will be your guide through the natural features of the areas as well as their fascinating history.  Laurie led this stroll last October after a dry summer and there were requests to return during a wetter season.  Steer Swamp is the largest of Marblehead’s conservation areas and is home to a variety of wildlife, so bring your binoculars. Sturdy footwear is advised as the trails have roots and rocks. There is no charge for this event, but to register and receive details on the meeting point, please complete the form below.  To allow everyone to hear Laurie, attendance will be limited to 12 participants.

  • Rick Cuzner, wildlife photographer, now on YouTube

    If you missed Rick Cuzner’s talk on photographing local wildlife at Conservancy’s Annual Meeting, you’re in luck!  A video of his talk has been posted on the Conservancy’s YouTube channel.  Search YouTube for @marbleheadconservancy to watch Rick describe his tools and techniques and to see some truly awesome photos of local wildlife.
