Welcome to 2026. We made it!
So now what? For us at APCC, the plan is to work even harder at making a positive contribution to our community. What that looks like for us is:
- tireless environmental advocacy, especially around enhanced land conservation efforts;
- expanded investment in water quality monitoring that is focused on lowering the risks of exposure to cyanobacteria and driving better management of freshwater ponds and estuaries;
- increased restoration of wetlands and water resources, including reductions in stormwater pollution and rejuvenated streams and native wetlands;
- a major initiative to expand the availability and use of native plants to aid with restoring the balance of nature on Cape Cod; and
- remaining your go-to place to learn about the most pressing environmental issues and to get guidance on what to do to make a positive impact.
Simply put, we enter 2026 ready to build on our strong record of success. How far we go really depends on what you all do to make the changes we promote reality. We need you to write the emails, make the calls, go to the meetings, participate in local elections and town meetings and continue to help us have the resources we need to be effective.
If 2026 is to be a good year for the environment, we need you to be as committed as we are.
Onward!
