The Depot Museum and Art Gallery of Beverly Shores is hosting an exhibit this July and August celebrating the work of Shirley Heinze Land Trust.
Shirley Heinze Land Trust's association with the Town of Beverly Shores dates back to its founding in 1981; its first offices were located there. The Trust owns and manages more than 75 acres of wetlands in the Great Marsh located within town boundaries. Numerous town residents have served on the Heinze Trust Board.
The exhibit features nature photography depicting Shirley Heinze Land Trust preserves and the flora and fauna protected there. Displays demonstrate the Trust's work in preserving land, restoring habitat, and promoting environmental education. Ron Trigg is curator of the exhibit.
The Depot Museum and Art Gallery is located at 525 Broadway in Beverly Shores. Hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
