Join Chatham Conservation Foundation (CCF) Executive Director Lauren Arcomano in welcoming 2026 with guided walks along CCF's Frost Fish Creek Trail. The trail meanders along the eastern edge of Frost Fish Creek, offering walkers glimpses of an old cranberry operation that has reverted to open wetlands. Bring your binoculars to get a good view of "winter locals" of Frost Fish Creek, including buffleheads and other ducks! We are hosting two walks, one at 10 am and one at 12 pm.
These walks are part of #FirstDayHikesCapeCod, a collaborative effort between the Foundation and other conservation groups around the Cape, holding outings and walks on January 1st. Building on the popularity of the national state park program originally launched in Massachusetts, this regional celebration features free special walks, talks, and hikes in communities across Cape Cod, providing a range of opportunities for families, children, residents, and visitors to get outside and explore on the first day of the new year.
Note: These walks are free, but we kindly request that you pre-register so we can accurately gauge attendance.
