Coonamessett River Restoration Project

On May 30, 2025 the Overlook at the Coonamessett River Restoration Site was been officially named after Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Gladfelter, in recognition of her many contributions -- writing grants, coordinating partners and volunteers, and steadfast support for ecosystem restoration and creation of public open space in Falmouth and beyond.

You can read more about the designation in the Cape News article “Coonamessett River Overlook to be named after Dr. Gladfelter”.

You can also watch a video of the dedication ceremony to see the community come together to honor Betsy.
