The Coalition´s goal is to foster an approach to Mashpee living that will engender resident appreciation and respect for our ecological resources. We believe this priceless benefit is for the enjoyment of all.

 Enhancement and protection of our many natural assets is a duty we owe to each other and future generations.

 An informed citizenry is the best defense against environmental damage. MEC uses the following techniques to establish a public dialog and achieve its goals:

† Environmental programs conducted as a community service monitor our public fresh water ponds via our Pond Health Program an adjunct to the Cape Cod Pond and Lake Stewards Program (PALS), support our open space by participation in the Land Stewards Program and inform the public through our in-process Citizen’s Guide.

† Public Service Announcements for recycling progress and flyers supporting open space purchases provide the public with information concerning items that have a potential impact on our neighborhood.

† Pamphlets and booklets on assets and issues have been distributed and are available at our Edward A. Baker Library for download or on-line reading.

† The MEC Guardian is a Quarterly Newsletter containing current status and items of general interest distributed to members electronically or by US Mail and available at our Edward A. Baker Library for download or on-line reading.

† Informative videos^* by the award winning videographer and MEC Director, Maxine Wolfset:
