Environmental Scholarship to be Awarded

PRESS RELEASE:  March 2023

The Mashpee Environmental Coalition (MEC) is pleased to announce that a scholarship will again be awarded this year to one or more qualified Mashpee High School seniors.  The MEC Scholarship is designed to encourage students who are dedicated to the environment, and who plan to continue their education at a higher education institution.  Since the scholarship began in May 2020, thus far five scholarships have been awarded to deserving students.

Website to be Expanded

The Mashpee Environmental Coalition board voted this month to review and expand its website, so more recent town initiatives and assets are highlighted — including Mashpee’s Pollinator Gardens, the Herring and Shellfish Programs, Mashpee Community Garden, Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, Mashpee Community Park and Veterans Garden, and the Mashpee Environmental Coalition scholarship.  With an aim at finding new ways to collaborate, information about local, like-minded organizations will also be expanded to include groups such as Mashpee Clean Waters, Save Popponesset Bay, Citizens for the Protection of Waquoit Bay, and Friends of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge.
