Pond Neighborhood Outreach

​The Brewster Ponds Coalition’s Neighborhood Outreach program partners with local neighborhood and pond associations to help them gain a better understanding of these beautiful, complex ecosystems.

A neighborhood pond is both a great resource and a great responsibility.

​The BPC Neighborhood Outreach program can leverage and enhance your group’s efforts and help to expand them to a broad and long term environmental stewardship program in a non-regulatory manner.

Being a caretaker is the right thing to do: the sandy soils of the cape allow groundwater to flow into and out of ponds. Keeping your pond clean also keeps our sole source aquifer water clean and can be a personally transformative experience.
The BPC Outreach program:

  • Builds a working partnership with your neighborhood group or pond association
  • Works with you to understand your pond dynamics
  • Helps you focus your pond association on water issues
  • Instills a “Pond Caretaker” attitude in your neighborhood
  • Explores how you as a neighbor can help 
  • Grows BPC awareness and membership through our joint efforts
