​Cape Cod is an amazing place!  In geologic terms it has been here for a blink of a cosmic eye.  Left behind by a glacier it has a unique place in the geography of New England coastal environments. Sandy beaches, kettle holes, salt marshes and easy access to tidal flats.  We've explored, captured, sampled and taught in all of these environments.  Let us share our passion and knowledge with you and your family.  It's a day that you will never forget!
