Cape Ann Trail Stewards invites you to join us for our Annual Meeting on Wednesday, May 20 from 6-8:00pm, at the Lanesville Community Center in Gloucester.

We will present a brief overview and photo slideshow of our work over the past year including an annual financial report, and vote in our slate of officers for the year.  Complimentary pizza and drinks will be provided!

Our guest speaker, Les Bartlett, will give a talk called Dogtown in the 20th and 21st Centuries:  Human Plans, Nature's Course, where he will describe several efforts undertaken by humans over the decades to manage Dogtown and the Cape Ann "island's" interior, and the course that nature has taken in those decades.

Les Bartlett is an artist and a a historian of Dogtown and Cape Ann's island interior. He has catalogued the Sandy Bay Historical Society's holdings of artifacts from the colonial Commons Settlement, which became Dogtown, and his artwork captures the beauty of landscapes shaped by both nature and humankind.
