Discover the history and future of land conservation on Cape Cod with Mark Robinson, long-time director of The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, as he shares an overview of the themes that drive land protection. Early efforts began with philanthropic gifts and civic beauty efforts, and later graduated to the powerful rise of land trusts and municipal programs beginning in earnest during the 1980s.
Learn how the 21st century is projected to bring trends of “undevelopment” and ecological restoration that can return land once cleared for commercial purposes and other uses back to its natural state.
Admission for this talk is $5 payable at the door.
