SUMMARY:BLT's Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins!
DESCRIPTION:BLT’s Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins\nSunday\, February 22\, 2026 9:00AM – Monday\, April 6\, 2026  4:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalt air\, strong tides\, and serious bragging rights—welcome to Marsh Madness\, Cape Cod–style. You don’t need a basketball bracket\, a whistle\, or a PhD in birding to play along—Barnstable Land Trust’s inaugural Marsh Madness is officially in session from February 22 – April 6. With more than 20\,000 acres\, Cape Cod’s marshes are the ultimate defensive line—buffering storms\, fighting sea level rise\, and taking on climate change like absolute champions. But the matchup is tough: according to the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC)\, 36% (roughly 7\,000 acres) of our historic salt marshes have already been lost or severely degraded. All March long\, it’s game on. Meet the marsh’s top contenders—from plants and birds to insects\, marine life\, and other habitat heroes (and a few notorious villains). Cast your votes\, build bragging rights\, score a chance at a prize package\, and help crown Cape Cod’s conservation champions in this truly wild Marsh Madness match-up. Join the madness. The marsh is counting on you. \nCast your vote at:  https://blt.org/marshmadness/vote

SUMMARY:Naturescape Gallery presents "Flora"  exhibit featuring Artist Katherine Nora
DESCRIPTION:Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents\nFlora by artist Katherine Nora\, February 14 – April 30\, 2026\, during Museum open hours. \nArtist’s statement: \nFor the last twenty years most of my painting has been a response to what is growing in the land around me. Whether from direct contact with my garden or the woods surrounding it\, a glimpse of roadside scene or even the memory of a dream\, the urge is the same: to capture that plant-action. I see personalities\, communication\, or simply grace\, dignity and wisdom. To satisfy my curiosity and capture these qualities\, I wait for the painting to tell me what it wants and allow my participation in the gestures of the natural world. \nKatherine Nora has lived on Cape Cod for most of her life and shown her work here for decades. She is known for depicting the natural world with bold colors and strong brush strokes. And if you are in Orleans having a coffee at the Hot Chocolate Sparrow\, look towards the CVS building and you will see the incredible “Depot Mural” that depicts the “Yesterday-Year Railroad Station” by artists Katherine Nora and Dan Joy. The mural is a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the train arriving in Orleans. \nA multi-talented artist\, Katherine is also the author of three novels\, two of which are historical fiction set in Orleans: Theo and Ria and Sipson’s Island; and Pepromeno\, a Greek word meaning destiny or fate\, chronicles a son’s discovery of his missing father. \nYou can view more of Katherine’s work on her Instagram page: k.nora_art\, or at\nAdorn 211 Main St\, Orleans\, MA 02653\, adorncapecod.com. \n*Included with Museum Admission \nFor more information\, please call the Museum at 508-896-3867 ext. 133.

SUMMARY:Attract Birds to your Yard-tips & tricks with master gardener Fran Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:Bring the Cape’s most beautiful\, fascinating — and sometimes dramatic –birds to your own back yard with tips and tricks from master gardener Fran Raleigh at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on Sunday\, March 1 at 1:00pm\, 2026. \nThe botanist\, ecologist and birder will join host Janice Donovan\, manager of the historic Shirley G Cross Wildflower Garden\, for a presentation on native plants that can attract year-round and migrating birds. Fran will also explain how helping local birdlife can reduce your own garden chores\, including having to water less\, and maintain local ecosystems. \nFran Raleigh grew up watching birds and nature in her Northern VA neighborhood. She began getting to know wild plants while earning her BS in Biology at Marietta College in OH\, and continued botanizing during grad school at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse\, where she earned MS and PhD degrees in Plant Science. A long-time visitor to Cape Cod\, she moved here permanently on her retirement. \nGardening for Life is an annual series at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History that brings experts across a range of fields to speak to hobbyists and professionals. Upcoming topics include spring preparation and the secret world of fireflies. It honors the historic Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden at the Green Briar Nature Center. \nPLUS\, at every event we’ll be hosting a bake sale filled with delicious treats\, with proceeds going to support the incredible work of Brewster Pollinators.

SUMMARY:BLT's Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins!
DESCRIPTION:BLT’s Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins\nSunday\, February 22\, 2026 9:00AM – Monday\, April 6\, 2026  4:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalt air\, strong tides\, and serious bragging rights—welcome to Marsh Madness\, Cape Cod–style. You don’t need a basketball bracket\, a whistle\, or a PhD in birding to play along—Barnstable Land Trust’s inaugural Marsh Madness is officially in session from February 22 – April 6. With more than 20\,000 acres\, Cape Cod’s marshes are the ultimate defensive line—buffering storms\, fighting sea level rise\, and taking on climate change like absolute champions. But the matchup is tough: according to the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC)\, 36% (roughly 7\,000 acres) of our historic salt marshes have already been lost or severely degraded. All March long\, it’s game on. Meet the marsh’s top contenders—from plants and birds to insects\, marine life\, and other habitat heroes (and a few notorious villains). Cast your votes\, build bragging rights\, score a chance at a prize package\, and help crown Cape Cod’s conservation champions in this truly wild Marsh Madness match-up. Join the madness. The marsh is counting on you. \nCast your vote at:  https://blt.org/marshmadness/vote

SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crabs: The Cape's First 'Wash-a-Shores'
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION and Q&A\nWednesday\, March 11\, 2026\, 1:00pm\nCape Cod Museum of Natural History \nOnce a ‘pest’\, now an icon\, the importance of Cape Cod’s horseshoe crabs is being revealed in a Silver Science presentation at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on Wednesday\, March 11\, at 1:00pm. \nMaureen Ward\, the Museum’s Horseshoe Crab Aquaculture and Nursery program lead\, will take the audience through how the 450-million-year-old ‘living fossil’ has become an invaluable resource for species both below and above the water. \n“There’s a surprising number of coastal and marine animals living along our shorelines\, in our water habitats\, and flying overhead that have come to depend on horseshoe crabs as a food resource\,” Maureen said. “We’ll also be talking about how they enrich the seafloor and expand biodiversity.” \nFollowing the presentation there will be a Q&A session with opportunities to view live juvenile horseshoe crabs and receive updates on MA legislation proposing to ban the taking of the species for bait and MA Division of Marine Fisheries proposals to change quotas for bait and biomedical harvest. \n2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the Museum’s Horseshoe Carb Aquaculture and Nursery Education Program\, which promotes stewardship\, advocacy and education. Our International Horseshoe Crab Day Celebration is one of the museum’s most popular annual events with hundreds of people coming for special exhibits every June 19th. \nSilver Science is a series of presentations by leading figures across a range of disciplines\, with discounted tickets for those aged 60+. Upcoming speakers include archaeologist Dr Fred Dunford on the work of our co-founder John Hay to preserve the history of the Cape’s Native people\, and WHOI scientist Dr Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser on biodiversity on shipwrecks. For a full list of events go to ccmnh.org.

SUMMARY:BLT's Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins!
DESCRIPTION:BLT’s Marsh Madness: Where Nature Always Wins\nSunday\, February 22\, 2026 9:00AM – Monday\, April 6\, 2026  4:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalt air\, strong tides\, and serious bragging rights—welcome to Marsh Madness\, Cape Cod–style. You don’t need a basketball bracket\, a whistle\, or a PhD in birding to play along—Barnstable Land Trust’s inaugural Marsh Madness is officially in session from February 22 – April 6. With more than 20\,000 acres\, Cape Cod’s marshes are the ultimate defensive line—buffering storms\, fighting sea level rise\, and taking on climate change like absolute champions. But the matchup is tough: according to the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC)\, 36% (roughly 7\,000 acres) of our historic salt marshes have already been lost or severely degraded. All March long\, it’s game on. Meet the marsh’s top contenders—from plants and birds to insects\, marine life\, and other habitat heroes (and a few notorious villains). Cast your votes\, build bragging rights\, score a chance at a prize package\, and help crown Cape Cod’s conservation champions in this truly wild Marsh Madness match-up. Join the madness. The marsh is counting on you. \nCast your vote at:  https://blt.org/marshmadness/vote

SUMMARY:Naturescape Gallery presents "Flora"  exhibit featuring Artist Katherine Nora
DESCRIPTION:Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents\nFlora by artist Katherine Nora\, February 14 – April 30\, 2026\, during Museum open hours. \nArtist’s statement: \nFor the last twenty years most of my painting has been a response to what is growing in the land around me. Whether from direct contact with my garden or the woods surrounding it\, a glimpse of roadside scene or even the memory of a dream\, the urge is the same: to capture that plant-action. I see personalities\, communication\, or simply grace\, dignity and wisdom. To satisfy my curiosity and capture these qualities\, I wait for the painting to tell me what it wants and allow my participation in the gestures of the natural world. \nKatherine Nora has lived on Cape Cod for most of her life and shown her work here for decades. She is known for depicting the natural world with bold colors and strong brush strokes. And if you are in Orleans having a coffee at the Hot Chocolate Sparrow\, look towards the CVS building and you will see the incredible “Depot Mural” that depicts the “Yesterday-Year Railroad Station” by artists Katherine Nora and Dan Joy. The mural is a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the train arriving in Orleans. \nA multi-talented artist\, Katherine is also the author of three novels\, two of which are historical fiction set in Orleans: Theo and Ria and Sipson’s Island; and Pepromeno\, a Greek word meaning destiny or fate\, chronicles a son’s discovery of his missing father. \nYou can view more of Katherine’s work on her Instagram page: k.nora_art\, or at\nAdorn 211 Main St\, Orleans\, MA 02653\, adorncapecod.com. \n*Included with Museum Admission \nFor more information\, please call the Museum at 508-896-3867 ext. 133.
