Have you ever been curious about the work we do at Manomet, Inc. and how a nonprofit with local roots is making a global impact? Want to learn more about our plans for the Holmes Farm? Then join us at Manomet Headquarters in Plymouth for an Open House on Tuesday, August 21 (the rain date is Wednesday, August 22).

We’ve got a number of fun events planned to give you an insider’s view of Manomet and our work to build a more sustainable world. Whether you’re interested in bird banding, the 100-year-old Manomet Garden for Wildlife, a guided tour of our property, or want to hear directly from Manomet scientists about the fascinating work they’re doing, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

We’ll also have informational tables set up around the property so you can interact directly with Manomet staff. And resident beekeeper Jim Lifton will join us with some interactive materials to show firsthand what goes into the beekeeping he does on-site! 

And of course, there will be plenty of fun (and educational!) activities for kids, like a bird banding demonstration, a scavenger hunt and nature walk, and an interactive presentation on how to tell the age of a tree by counting its rings.

You don’t want to miss this Open House! It’s a great chance to meet the Manomet team, learn more about what we do, and enjoy a fun afternoon connecting with the natural world. 

Space is limited for our scheduled events, so registration is strongly encouraged. Otherwise, you are welcome to drop by anytime during the Open House to meet our staff and learn more about what we do.

The Great Big Baby Swap is a gently used clothes swap event for families in need. This event is 100% free to the community as we aim to support low income families who may not have the funds for a big "back to school" shopping spree. The clothes will be for infants and children up to age 5 so any families who may have a child growing out of clothes can come to swap some of the smaller items. The way it will work is the parent or guardian will sign in and bring a laundry basket of clothes. How full the laundry basket is will determine how much clothing the individual can take with them when they leave. This is a two day event and there will be drop off times in the morning from 9:00am to 11:30. Families can come back after 12:30 to claim new clothes in exchange for the clothes they dropped off earlier. The last hour of the second day will be a time where people can come for free clothes regardless if they brought anything in the beginning. Clothing donations will also be accepted. This event is planned and operated by the Plymouth WIC program so any families who may qualify for the WIC program will be able to get signed up for the program on the spot that day.
