Cape Cod is renowned for its rich natural environment. The Cape Cod Commission's Natural Resources and Open Space program area focuses on the protection of sensitive plant and wildlife habitats, unusual natural communities, and open space areas. Commission staff can provide technical assistance or reference in the protection of sensitive resources, including bylaw development, drafting of conservation restrictions, managing conservation lands, site design to protect sensitive resources, invasive species management, etc. We also track and map all Land Bank acquisitions, and provide technical support to local Community Preservation Act committees. Cape Cod Pathways is also supported by the Cape Cod Commission staff. Explore this web site for information on these and other services.
