What we do – Deep Pond Preservation Project

Deep Pond Preservation Project is taking action to help Deep Pond in several important ways. We are sharing information with local property owners, posting signs asking visitors to help protect the pond from pollutants, and educating ourselves about the pond biology. We are communicating with other local pond associations and larger organizations, such as the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, to share knowledge and identify ways to collaborate around our common concerns. We are reaching out to various Town of Falmouth departments to seek their support for our efforts.

Finally, we have formed volunteer workgroups that are focused on making a positive difference in the health and beauty of Deep Pond.

We welcome volunteers!

Educating the public

Educating local residents by developing a campaign to help homeowners understand the nature of the problems we face in Deep Pond, focusing on human and animal activity and what we can do to ensure a healthy and beautiful pond.
