What started as a small group of residents concerned about the health of their neighborhood pond has grown over the last year into a nonprofit organization working to educate residents about the need to protect ponds on the Cape.
Educational outreach has been at the forefront of the Deep Pond Preservation Projectâs efforts since its founding last September. Its primary mission is to preserve the health and beauty of Deep Pond, located in the Hatchville neighborhood of East Falmouth.
As a coastal pond home to rare native plants, it is especially vulnerable to growing threats such as invasive species, septic overflow and herbicides.
