Wow! The first month of Individual Placements has

Wow! The first month of Individual Placements has come and gone and our Year 23 members have already assisted with a wide variety of natural resource management, environmental education, and community engagement service projects across the Cape. Below are highlights of some of the many projects our Corps has helped support so far:

1) Building and deploying a baited remote underwater video system (BRUVS) with the Center for Coastal Studies
2) Engaging volunteers in stewardship projects with the Harwich Conservation Trust
3) Monitoring conservation restriction (CR) properties with the Town of Falmouth Conservation Commission

The Year 23 Corps is not afraid to get their hands dirty and feet wet to help "get things done." Swipe to see some four-legged friends that members made along the way while out serving in the local community!

This past Monday our Wellfleet members helped the The Family Pantry of Cape Cod with the seasonal closing of the Pantry's production garden. Members assisted with tilling, weeding, and general seasonal closing maintenance. 🥕🥬🥔🛠 While the Wellfleet members were in Harwich serving with The Family Pantry of Cape Cod, our Chatham members were in Orleans helping the Orleans Conservation Trust (OCT) with meadow management. Members maintained OCT's Mauch Property by moving several large brush piles into the more open portion of the property to allow for safe burning conditions. Recent storm debris and dead snags were cleaned up and added to the pre-existing piles. Members also participated in invasive species removal to promote meadow habitat health. 🪚🌳🌼🌿 It was a great day of getting things done!

Last week our Year 23 Thursday Group Service Crew

Last week our Year 23 Thursday Group Service Crew (aka COD Day) participated in their first project! The 11 COD Day members helped the Barnstable Natural Resources Department rake out quahog grow plots, relocate larger-sized quahogs, seed the freshly raked areas (275,000 quahogs planted!!), and staple protective netting over the plots at Sandy Point in Osterville. After seeding, members assisted in making new nets and staples for the rest of the Department's shellfish season. 🐚💪🦪Stay tuned for more action as our Year 23 Group Service Projects (on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays) get underway for the year!

On Monday, the Year 22 Outer Cape members helped the Harwich Conservation Trust (HCT) and the Town of Harwich Conservation Dept. spruce up the parking area and trailhead at the Isabel D.
