April 30 and May 14 & 21: Guided History Walks
Walk leaders Marcus Hendricks & Todd Kelley
Sponsored by Harwich Conservation Trust, join 12th generation Cape Codder Todd Kelley and Wampanoag/Nipmuc Marcus Hendricks on one or all of these leisurely late afternoon walks. Along the way we will share many stories of insight into Native life on Cape Cod from before European contact through early settlement of “old Cape” families.

Animal Kingdom Gaming
See the natural world through a different lens using all of your senses, and learn to make greater connections with the holistic environment. Animal Kingdom Gaming defines the program structure itself, with Animal representing all sentient beings, Kingdom representing their habitats including trees, plants, rocks, water, and weather and Gaming being the method of how to learn to correlate instant observations. You’ll gain enthusiasm for the perception skills you develop and can use on your own nature walks.

High Head and the Highlands
Explore the glacial Highlands and the ever changing landscape that Cape Cod has always been. Consider life according to the seasons at a place where the sea, coastal shore and elements had direct bearing on daily survival. We will follow the movements of late-woodland period people to European contact and the arrival of the Mayflower. We’ll visit Salt Meadow where the Pilgrims found their first freshwater spring and then think of their thirst when we contrast Native life style and the Pilgrim’s dire necessity.

People of the Province Lands
Join us for this walk focusing on the nature of life out on the Province Lands. Witness the natural richness yet stark harshness of this area as we travel through the rapid and dramatic social changes that early settlement brought. We will see visible evidence of the changes in the land itself as our story culminates with the Old Colony Railroad (1873) opening up easier land access to Provincetown and bringing further social changes to the community of yesteryear as well as the community of today.
