| CPA Votes Pass to Support Land Conservation Projects |
| Residents voted overwhelmingly to approve CPA funding for land conservation projects in North Andover (Glennie Woodlot) and West Newbury (Brown Spring Farm and River Road). Because CPA money covers only a portion of the cost to purchase these properties, Greenbelt seeks your support to help close the funding gaps. |

| Annie & Squam |
| Introducing Annie & Squam, stars of the OspreyCam, named for the Native American term "rock mound" which gave Cape Ann its first name, "Annisquam." Annie laid 3 eggs and does much of the incubating, while Squam brings her fish to eat. A mid-June hatch date is anticipated! Watch our live OspreyCam, and check out the Osprey Virtual Story. |
