The Dennis Conservation Trust initiated
the efforts that led to the Town’s successful acquisition
of the former Howland Property on Bass River in West
Dennis,
and has pledged $500,000 towards the purchase.
The Trust has also assisted the Town in securing commitments
for $1.9 million dollars in Federal and State grants
for the purchase of this property. We are continuing
to work in conjunction with the Town to raise additional
funds for site improvements. Once destined for dense
condominium development, the 3.5-acre parcel will now
be a waterfront park, offering public access to the
beautiful Bass River.
