Strong Island Nature and History Walk

Join CCF staff for a walk around the “gem” of Pleasant Bay. CCF President Tim Burt will focus on the fascinating history of the island, and Executive Director Lauren Arcomano will speak to the flora and fauna found there and CCF's current conservation efforts in Chatham.

Acquired in 1973 from the Horst Family, Strong Island consists of 75 acres of upland owned by CCF and 59 acres of town-owned marsh. Located in Pleasant Bay, the property has both the limitations of isolation from the Cape as a whole and also the likelihood of unique migrational visitations. The island-long trail system winds thought pine and oak woodlands filled with native shrubs and wildlife representative of the general area.

Transportation to and from the island will be provided on private boats.

Special Notes:

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and be prepared with water, sunglasses, and sunblock as needed. The walk will follow trails as well as off-trail beaches.

Please Note:

• Appropriate for ages 8+
• Ticket sales are final - no refunds.
• You will be notified by telephone if the walk must be cancelled because of inclement weather, and your ticket(s) will be fully refunded.
• Meeting details and directions will be provided upon purchase of tickets.
