As much as I hate to admit it, we have turned the corner on summer. While there will be plenty of summer weather in the days to come, sundown is noticeably earlier now than in June, return to school thoughts are more prevalent and some of you are beginning to plan your return trips to where home is. For us, the summer is a very busy period in which our programs are in full swing and our campus is a beehive (quite literally) of activity.
The truth is that our workload changes during the non-summer months, but it never lets up. The business of protecting the Cape’s environment from overt exploitation and profiteering is constant. The effort to distill complex data into understandable and actionable pieces is never finished. The need to educate, inform and equip the public to the environmental challenges the Cape faces is limitless. In sum, our work to help preserve this wonderful place for current and future generations is really never done.
Everyone here at APCC has embraced the challenge of making a difference and being a force for positive change for Cape Cod. That said, and while APCC staff accomplishes way more than what might be reasonably expected from a staff our size, we can only accomplish what the resources we have allow. That is where you come in. We are approaching the end of our Summer Appeal and I hope that you will take the time, if you have not already and perhaps before you say goodbye to another Cape summer, to give as generously as you can so that we can remain the guardians of the Cape’s environment this year and well into the future.
Improving the environment is work that is never done, but with your support, we will keep hammering and will make things better.
