Strong Island Nature Walk

Our last trip to Strong Island for the season!

Join CCF Executive Director Lauren Arcomano for a walk around the “gem” of Pleasant Bay. Lauren will focus on the fascinating history of the island, 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.

Your Guide:

Lauren Arcomano is the Executive Director of the Chatham Conservation Foundation and an avid outdoors person who loves to hike and kayak. When not at CCF's historic headquarters in the Mayo House, she can be found paddling in the Nauset Marsh or exploring other conservation lands on the Cape.

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:

• 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.
