From the Fall 2012 WCT Newsletter:
On Saturday September 8th, 73 walkers joined the Trust on the Sixth Annual Walk in Wellfleet around the northern part of Indian Neck. It was an absolutely perfect September day to visit an area many walk participants knew little about. So the combination of exploring new places coupled with talks once again proved to be a successful formula.
The walk started with an orientation to conserved lands by the Trust and Town by Trust President Dennis OIConnell at Indian Neck Beach, and then, after a stop by the newly installed Durand Echeverria memorial plaque and rock by the breakwater in Wellfleet Harbor, we heard a talk by Trustee Ned Hitchcock on past and future dredging in the harbor. David Wright, from the Wellfleet Historical Society added comments on the history of the Indian Neck area, including learning that the area got its name by the relocation of the local Native Americans in 1713. Then, the group moved around Chipman’s Cove and over toward Fox Island to hear about the history of Fox Island Marsh and the cooperation between the State, Town and Trust to preserve this large area.
