Join us for a Full Moon Watch Party on the Spit!

Thursday August 11, 6:30-8:30pm

Come enjoy live music, yard games, and watch the sunset and Sturgeon Moon rise over Vineyard Sound with neighbors and friends as a community. All ages and families are welcome! Bring your own drinks and meet us at the end of the main path on the right. Meeting point circled below.

Polar Cave will be present selling ice cream and is donating a percent of proceeds from their party sales to 

Save Popponesset Bay!

The board will be available to answer any questions you may have. We will have our educational maps and materials available, but there will be no formal presentation. There will also be merchandise available for purchase – cash or check is preferred.

Come one, come all!

*In the event of a downpour we will cancel.

Summer 2021 Party – Thank You!

Save Popponesset Bay would like to share a letter with you that we received from Mass Audubon.

Mass Audubon is one of the organizations SPB partners with to ensure that our beloved Spit remains the wonderful place that it is for generations to come.

“Thank you for partnering with us in 2021 to protect the nesting shorebirds on Popponesset Spit. Coastal birds face many challenges along our busy coastline as they lay their eggs on the sand and raise their young amidst the beach-going public. Their success depends on all of us and it would not be possible for Mass Audubon’s shorebird monitors to do the work they do without partnerships.

Thank you very much for your support of our efforts; you have helped us be successful in conserving coastal birds through your partnership. The participation and support of local communities in coastal bird conservation is essential and your role in this effort is very appreciated. We have attached the field summaries for Popponesset Spit here; please let us know if you have any questions or would like more information about shorebirds on Popponesset Spit.

We look forward to working together again next spring!”
