Cape Cod’s geological history is defined by something called moraine, the rocks left behind as a glacier retreats. This gradual progression over thousands of years created kettle ponds such as Long Pond in Falmouth, which provides drinking water.
A community effort is underway to help preserve and improve the rugged, 11-mile Moraine Trail. On July 11, AmeriCorps Cape Cod volunteers will install kiosks—built by middle-school students—to assist people along the trail.
