Join us to explore 10 diverse Cape Cod habitats from Falmouth to Provincetown. Participants will learn the natural history of each site by comparing multiple habitats. We will delve into the moraines and outwash plains that sit beneath the surface of each habitat. We will map the freshwater cycles in streams, kettle ponds, and aquifers. We will peer into the micro world of bacterial and plankton using microscopes and iPads. We will identify the plants and animals with hand lenses and binoculars. We will diagram the inter relationship that bind these organisms into an ecosystem. We will also describe the human interactions with these habitats. And finally, we will use strive to understand how to increase the resilience and adaptability of these lovely socio-ecological systems for the future generations of children of all species who live there.
