Eastern National (the parent of America’s National Parks) donation totaling $56,895 at Cape Cod National Seashore covered the salaries of three seasonal employees who presented 120 programs to more than 2600 visitors. Programs included guided canoe and kayak tours, hikes to destinations like the Artist-in-Residence dune shack, and children’s activities.
This year, Cape Cod National Seashore hosted the “You are Here: Poetry in Parks” project with the Library of Congress, the Poetry Society of America, and Ada Limón, the US Poet Laureate. In June, an installation was unveiled at Beech Forest—a picnic table that features Mary Oliver’s poem “Can You Imagine?” and doubles as a wayside exhibit.
