Heritage landscapes are those places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced the land use in a community; and heritage landscapes often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps toward their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

  • East Point History Text from Uniguide Audiotour
    East Point History Text from UniGuide audiotour Last updated October 14, 2017 This is an official self-guided and streamable audio tour of East Point, Nahant. It highlights the natural, cultural, and military history of the site, as well as current research and education happening at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center. Content was developed by the Northeastern University Marine Science Center with input from the Nahant Historical Society and Nahant SWIM Inc., as well as Nahant residents Gerry Butler and Linda Pivacek. 1. Stop 1 Welcome to East Point and the Northeastern University Marine Science Center. This site, which also includes property owned and managed by the Town of Nahant, boasts rich cultural and natural histories. We hope you will enjoy the tour Settlement in the Nahant area began about 10,000 years ago during the Paleo-Indian era. In 1614, the English explorer Captain John Smith reported: the “Mattahunts, two pleasant Iles of grouse, gardens and corn fields a league in the Sea from the Mayne.” Poquanum, a Sachem of Nahant, “sold” the island several times, beginning in 1630 with Thomas Dexter, now immortalized on the town seal. The geography of East Point includes one of the best examples of rocky intertidal habitat in the southern Gulf of Maine, and very likely the most-studied as well. This site is comprised of rocky headlands and lower areas that become exposed between high tide and low tide. This zone is easily identified by the many pools of seawater left behind as the water level drops during low tide. The unique conditions in these tidepools, and the prolific diversity of living organisms found there, are part of what interests scientists, as well as how this ecosystem will respond to warming and rising seas resulting from climate change.

  • A Springtime Exploration of Essex County's Coastal Islands, With
    bo33-1:BO32-1.qxd 6/2/2011 6:26 AM Page 12 A Springtime Exploration of Essex County’s Coastal Islands, with Notes on Their Historical Use by Colonially Nesting Birds Jim Berry For over thirty years I have lived on the North Shore of Massachusetts without a boat and have long wondered what colonially nesting birds, in what numbers, have nested on the many islands along the Essex County coast. All I knew was that large gulls and cormorants nest on some of them, that terns used to nest on them, and that herons have used at least three of them, but beyond that I didn’t know many details. In 2004 I got a chance to learn more when I found out that my friends Mary Capkanis and Dave Peterson had acquired a boat, and that Mary had obtained a pilot’s license. Both are longtime birders, and both have experience surveying waterbird colonies in various parts of the U.S. Finally, I had the means to do some island- hopping with friends who were serious about surveying for nesting birds. We made three outings, on May 12, May 14, and May 31. Linda Pivacek accompanied us on the third trip. We were unable to get out in June and of course needed more trips, later in the nesting season, to complete even a preliminary census. But in those three days we visited (with very few landings) most of the 30+ islands between Rockport and Nahant that are large enough to support nesting birds. I had three goals for these trips: (1) to see where gulls and cormorants are nesting and in roughly what numbers, and whether terns still nest on any of the islands; (2) to find out whether herons are currently nesting on any islands other than Kettle, off Manchester; and (3) to look for evidence of nesting by other species, such as Common Eiders (Somateria mollissima), which have increased dramatically as nesters in Boston Harbor, and Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo), Black Guillemots (Cepphus grylle), and American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus), for which there are no documented nesting records in Essex County.
