Office Closed, Trails Open
Greetings!

In our efforts to adhere to Governor Baker's directive of social distancing in response to Covid-19, the Chatham Conservation Foundation's office on Main Street is closed until further notice. Staff members are working remotely, and can be reached by email or phone at 508-945-4084.

While the office may be closed, the foundation's walking trails are open. Walking outside is good for your health and can provide solace during this difficult time. We hope that time on the trails helps our community to stay happy and healthy.

Featured Property - Frost Fish Creek


Don't know where to start exploring? How about Frost Fish Creek:

CCF acquired all of the almost 50 acres that now protect Frost Fish Creek over a span of 33 years. The 1.1 mile walking trail meanders along the eastern edge of Frost Fish Creek offering walkers glimpses of an old cranberry operation which has reverted into open wetlands. As you walk along the high trail, borrow pits for sanding the bogs appear on either side of the path. With its unique configuration featuring a brackish-freshwater tidal wetland over upland Pine/Oak woodlands, this area offers the most varied and numerous opportunities to experience seasonal bird and mammal life in our area.

From the traffic light in North Chatham, travel 0.7 mile north on Route 28. The entrance to the trail is a dirt road on the left. Parking is available.

More trails and maps can be found on our website, just click here . If you'd like to request a paper trail guide, please call Dorothy at 508-945-4084 or email executivedirector@ccfinc.org
