We are so fortunate in Falmouth to live among 120 freshwater kettle ponds. Unfortunately the health of these ponds is suffering, often because of our actions on the land around them. Falmouth Pond Coalition was formed to shine a spotlight on the increasing degradation of these Cape Cod jewels. We do this by working with neighbors to spread the word about what the problems are and what we can all do about them. Learn more and get involved to help preserve these precious resources.
iNaturalist App
For those wanting to learn about what plants, birds, and other animals live around their ponds, we encourage you to consider using iNaturalist. You can learn more at https://www.inaturalist.org/ and by using this instructional video. Learning about the life in and around your pond can help you know what animals are disappearing, warn you about growth of invasive plants, etc.
