This past Wednesday & Thursday the ACC Year 22 Corps took part in a 2-day Blended Red Card Training hosted by the Cape Cod National Seashore Fire Management Office. Over the course of the two days members, alongside NPS personnel, received a comprehensive overview of skills and tactics used in wildland firefighting. Training topics included: fire shelter use, ignition tool use, crew transportation, backpack pump use, water handling, fire suppression, prescribed fire, initial attack, fire size-up, communication, and safety. 🔥🧨🧯🧑‍🚒 Thank you to the Cape Cod National Seashore and Fire Management Officer, David Crary, for continuously partnering with ACC to provide hands-on learning opportunities for the Corps. We appreciate all that the Cape Cod National Seashore does to support our members!

Spring time brings some exciting changes to Cape C

Spring time brings some exciting changes to Cape Cod. In anticipation of the annual herring run ACC members spent last Friday and Monday clearing the herring run in Harwich. Every year (usually between April and May) herring 🐟 return from the ocean to swim up river and streams to spawn in Cape Cod fresh water ponds. ACC assists these little guys journey by clearing out any debris that are blocking the run.

Meet the staff! AmeriCorps Cape Cod is excited to

Meet the staff! AmeriCorps Cape Cod is excited to welcome back Phoebe Plank in her new role as the Program Specialist! In her new role Phoebe will provide oversight to the Individual Placements aspect of the program, in additional to providing member development opportunities.

Phoebe grew up in North Ferrisburgh, VT. She graduated with a B.S. in Conservation Biology from St. Lawrence University. Phoebe’s passion for conservation and environmental education led her to AmeriCorps Cape Cod where she completed a year of service as a member of the Year 20 Corps. During her member year she individually served with the Town of Dennis Department of Natural Resources and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust where she gained valuable skills in land management and public engagement. Her admiration and respect for the professional development and support that AmeriCorps Cape Cod offers young people influenced her to remain with the program as the Year 21 Outer Cape Program Supervisor. After taking a short hiatus, Phoebe has returned as the Program Specialist and is excited to continue her journey with AmeriCorps Cape Cod. In her free time, you can find Phoebe out on a run, exploring new hiking trails, or soaking up sunshine at the beach.
