New Membership and Renewal Form
Our Annual Calendar Year Dues are used to pay for the cost of publishing the quarterly newsletter and filing fees required of Non-Profit organizations in Massachusetts.
​
The Scholarship Fund supports the two scholarships that we award to assist young adults seeking to further their education in environmental sciences.
​
Our Pond Restoration Fund provides us with the ability to proactively respond to threats to the health of our three ponds. In 2023 we provided funding for Barnstable Clean Water Coalition’s interns to take monthly samples of the Mystic Lake and Middle Pond to test for nitrogen and phosphorous. They also provided us with a survey of invasive species in and around these two ponds. In the past, we have funded our own extensive pond studies when there was not the political support to have the Town of Barnstable pay for these studies.
​
​Two membership types are available.
