Description
History, Ecology, and Boatbuilding: the Jones River Landing is a uniquely valuable landmark, steeped in history as well as a forward-thinking mission for advancing our environmental heritage. Representing three hundred years of boatbuilding tradition, it is a vestige of the once vibrant seafaring industry that thrived along the Jones River’s banks. As the largest river in Cape Cod Bay, the Jones River provides an essential habitat to a wide array of fish and wildlife that contributes directly to the health of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. Now the home to multiple mission-driven programs, the Landing is undergoing an extensive revitalization designed to preserve and steward our community’s vital natural and historic resources.
