Last winter, the Buzzards Bay Coalition acquired the Douglass family’s Christmas tree farm on Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven. The plan is to preserve the farmland to safeguard water quality and coastal habitats and preserve the scenic beauty of “The Neck.”

This holiday season, we offered the gift of a large tree from the farm to the town halls in our Buzzards Bay watershed. Falmouth, Carver, Wareham, and Fairhaven took us up on the offer.

An additional 100 six-foot trees that the Coalition cut down will be sold for $50 apiece to the public on Saturday, December 7 from 11 am to 3 pm. Staff will be on-hand at Sconticut Neck just south of Shipyard Farm in Fairhaven with some holiday cheer and to help those buying a tree. All proceeds support the Coalition’s work.
