With at least six properties in the Cape Cod region, our region's property staff has its hands full. Late last year, they got some welcome assistance from Russ Tremblay, a new full-time property steward assigned seasonally to both Long Pasture and Wellfleet Bay.

It's the time of year Wellfleet Bay's sea turtle team and volunteers join outside researchers at a lab at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to examine the sea turtles that didn't survive the cold-stun season. These sessions at WHOI provide scientists valuable information to help further sea turtle conservation.

The 2022 cold-stunned sea turtle season has officially concluded with nearly 900 endangered and threatened sea turtles rescued and recovered from the Cape's bayside beaches. Our annual Cape-wide rescue effort wouldn't be successful without our more than 200 trained volunteers and our tireless seven-member turtle team!

What began as a practice session on Corporation Beach in Dennis turned into a real life cold-stunned sea turtle rescue experience for a group of Wixon Elementary School students.

Work is nearing completion on Long Pasture’s new Outdoor Teaching Pavilion, a structure that's fully accessible and net-zero for energy use. Along with the Discovery Center, the pavilion will give the sanctuary maximum flexibility for hosting school, community and many other groups.
