Our Focus
Native Plant Initiative
WATER QUALITY
In recent years, the quality of many of Cape Cod’s coastal water bodies has deteriorated due to an excess supply of nitrogen containing compounds.
Cyanobacteria Monitoring
Please Note: Monitoring for cyanobacteria is underway for the 2022 season. We’ve expanded the number of ponds being sampled this year.
Environmental Sustainability
The high quality of life we enjoy on Cape Cod depends on a healthy environment, with safe drinking water, clean ponds and bays, unspoiled open areas and vibrant mixed use village centers.
HABITAT PROTECTION
From white cedar swamps to heathland to pine barrens, Cape Cod is blessed with a great diversity of unique and important habitats.

We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.
