From Ellen Silsby Heher, Cotuit:
Peter’s Pond Campground. What a PERFECT place for mom, dad, and my two granddaughters to spend a weekend or two or three during our Cape Cod Summer. A couple of years ago I joined them to swim in the pond for most of the day and then go back for their yummy cookout. This year, sadly, we were not able to go near the pond due to bacteria levels that were not conducive to swimming and fun. Let’s try to figure out this polluted dilemma, not only for my kids But for their kids and on and on.

Pond Stories are a collection of writings from Cape Codders and visitors who love the 1000 local ponds that dot the Cape. We hope this collection of stories, that are as much endearing as they are environmentally aware, will awaken your inner environmentalist to think deeper about our human impacts to these unique bodies of water. Check out these valuable resources to learn more about the current challenges Cape Cod ponds are facing and how you can be a better pond steward in your town.
