The overwhelmingly positive reaction to The Cape We Shape campaign has validated one of our foundational assumptions. There is widespread public support for preserving at-risk sensitive open space essential to the protection of water quality and critical habitat.
People are concerned about preserving the most important natural resource land we have left because they value its role in sustaining our collective quality of life—and because they know the pressure on the landscape is unrelenting.
For those of you who have expressed your interest in supporting The Cape We Shape campaign and for those of you who are campaign curious but not ready to commit, I encourage you to attend The Cape We Shape Rally on June 17 at The 204 – Cultural Arts Municipal Building, 204 Sisson Rd in Harwich. The Rally is intended to bring people together to hear and learn from the practitioners in the land trust community on about how they work and also from a panel of citizen activists who have figured out how to effectively make change in their communities.
The Rally will be a great place to learn from and connect with people in your community who share your interest in making Cape Cod a better place for all.
I hope to see you at the Rally. Bring a friend!
