Mark Robinson has put together an excellent presentation on the History of land conservation on Cape Cod. Follow the link to see his slides.
The presentation begins with Wampanoag people 10,000 years ago and takes us to the present and beyond. There’s the rationale for conservation, lots of interesting historical background, and beautiful photographs of Cape Cod conservation areas.
Giving Tuesday is November 30 this year. This is a great opportunity to help Wellfleet Conservation Trust assist and promote the preservation of natural resources and rural character of the town of Wellfleet.
Your donation can help conserve land in its natural state in perpetuity for enjoyment by current and future generations.
