MATTAPOISETT — Mattapoisett Land Trust welcomed scouts, siblings and parents from Cub Scout Pack 53 to Dunseith Gardens on Saturday Feb. 1 for a campfire and winter hike.

The Land Trust’s Gary Johnson demonstrated how to build a “log cabin” style campfire with all natural tinder, kindling, fire logs, and a match.

Once the fire was lit, land trust member Paul “Ozzie” Osenkowski led a short hike to the small stream at the northeast corner of the property and talked to the scouts about the history of the stream as the source of water for cranberry bogs many years ago on the east side of North Street.

Once the fire was ready, the outing concluded with s’mores roasted by the scouts and a rousing game of tag.
