Bearing fruitAquinnah is planning to introduce a food forest in the central part of town for foraging. It would be part of the upcoming Aquinnah Town Center, and some clearing for the forest site has already taken place. Native species, possibly including blueberry bushes and beach plums, will be planted. But the idea is more than just producing food; it’s about cultivating an understanding of Wampanoag foraging practices and a connection with the forest. Read more here.

Quote of the Day
"He impacted the lives of students he never met, and generations following."
— Charter School director Pete Steedman on Robert Day’s contributions to the schoolHot Topic CommentGeorge Davis replies to questions of why the dozens of migrants that were transported to the Vineyard may have left their home country: "If you dig a little deeper, you’ll learn that these folks have explained why they set out on their long and dangerous journey. You’ll also learn that they were all properly documented by U.S. authorities, and were awaiting court hearings on their asylum applications — all above board and legit. That's how the system works, and they were playing by the rules and abiding by the law before they were kidnapped and flown to Massachusetts under false pretext."Hot Topic LetterPeter Jones writes to us about wildfire risks: "The Island has a serious potential fire danger in the center of the Island. It is talked about, but nothing meaningful has been done. If the forest is eventually replanted, it should not be another monoculture planting."

A different kind of remote learning
Penikese Island, located in Buzzards Bay, is the home to the Penikese Island School. The school’s overarching goal is to get students unplugged and exploring the natural world. And the Island — with nearly 100 acres of grassy hills and rocky beaches — is a good setting for it. Find out a little history about Penikese, the school, and more here.
