SUMMARY:Week 4: Rust\, Rope\, and Iron: Sketching Cape Cod’s Working Heritage
DESCRIPTION:(Take part in all 4 Sessions or just join one) \nThursdays\, October 8\, 15\, 22\, 29\, 2026\,  9:30 am – 11:30 am \nWeek 4: Telling the Object’s Story: The Illustrated Heritage Study (October 29)\nThe third session moves beyond the visible surface. Cellphone-compatible endoscopes allow participants to investigate normally inaccessible parts of selected implements and discover unexpected drawing subjects. \nRust\, Rope\, and Iron: Sketching Cape Cod’s Working Heritage\, is taught by artist\, photographer\, and science educator\, Mark Kesling\, whose work explores the intersections of art\, science\, and perception. His series is a four-session art\, history\, and technology workshop exploring the tools and implements that shaped everyday work on Cape Cod. \nThroughout the series\, you will examine objects associated with cranberry farming\, agricultural machinery\, mechanical repair\, lifting and hauling\, grinding and sharpening\, fishing\, and shellfishing. Weathered wood\, rusted iron\, worn handles\, pulleys\, gears\, ropes\, hooks\, rakes\, baskets\, and other working surfaces will become subjects for close observation and creative interpretation. \nYour cellphone will serve as both a camera and a visual research tool. You will learn to photograph objects from useful viewpoints\, isolate compelling details\, explore light and shadow\, and create a collection of reference images for drawing. Cellphone-compatible endoscopes will offer an unusual way to peer beneath\, behind\, and inside selected objects\, revealing hidden mechanisms\, fasteners\, joints\, repairs\, textures\, and evidence of repeated use. \nGuided exercises will introduce accessible techniques for drawing complicated objects\, understanding mechanical forms\, suggesting texture\, and combining sketches with photographs\, labels\, written observations\, and historical information. You will gradually develop a series of studies leading to a finished illustrated heritage page or small collection celebrating Cape Cod’s agricultural and maritime past. \nNo previous drawing or photography experience is necessary. The emphasis is on curiosity\, careful observation\, experimentation\, and discovery rather than technical perfection. \nRecommended Supplies: \n\nA fully charged cellphone\nCharging cable or portable battery\, if available\nSketchbook or several sheets of drawing paper\nGraphite pencils\nBlack waterproof pen or fine liner\nEraser and pencil sharpener\nOptional colored pencils or a small watercolor set\n\nRSVP for the October 29th session here.

SUMMARY:Organic Lawn Essentials: Saving Our Sandbar One Yard at a Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us August 27th\, 6pm-7:30pm at DCLT HQ for an organic gardening workshop with Jamie Dekes “Dekes” of Inspired Organics. \nDekes has been heavily involved in organic land and plant management since 2004 working at a Garden Center\, landscaping companies\, and running his own organic lawn business. After his puppy was poisoned running through a lawn that had been treated with a well known synthetic fertilizer\, he made it his responsibility to teach people about the dangers of traditional fertilizer structures and show them an easier more sustainable and affordable way. \nZekes is accredited by the North East Organic Farming Association (NOFA) and started his mission of Saving Our Sandbar One Yard at a Time with the mantra of “when you start dealing with the problems instead of the symptoms you can attain beautiful and long lasting results!” \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Friday Farm Strolls
DESCRIPTION:Since acquiring our headquarters at Not Enough Acres Farm in 2023\, the DCLT has had the pleasure of learning with\, and from\, our community about regenerative agriculture. With the help of our incredible volunteers\, our goal is to grow 3\,000 pounds of produce in 2026–90% of which will be donated to local food pantries. \n\nOur most recent acquisition\, the historic (and iconic) Sesuet Farm\, is just walking distance from our headquarters.\n\n\nJoin us for a series of walking tours Fridays along both properties to learn more about their history\, how we are using them today\, and what we envision for the future.

SUMMARY:Artist + Natural Plant Dyer Natalie Stopka Book Signing & Demo
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 13th\, 2pm-4pm as we kick off our Color for Conservation series and step into a world where art\, science\, and nature converge at the Dennis Conservation Land Trust and celebrate the launch of the book From Plant to Pigment with author and textile artist Natalie Stopka. \n \nNatalie will kick off her talk with a demo making invasive buckthorn into a usable pigment + a book talk and signing that will make you rethink where color comes from while also shining a light on the vital role of water and plants in conservation. \nIn addition to the demo and talk\, Natalie will introduce us to her traveling archive of over 200 hand-crafted plant pigments from sources you won’t believe! Each hue tells a story of transformation: from wild-foraged plants to radiant inks\, paints\, and pastels\, and reveals the delicate balance between natural materials and the environments they come from. \nRSVP here!\n \nThis event places a special focus on water quality and ecological stewardship.\nLearn how something as seemingly simple as water is essential not only for vibrant\, lasting pigments\, but for the health of the ecosystems that produce them. \nYou’ll also discover how plants themselves play a powerful role in conservation. From filtering and protecting waterways to serving as renewable sources of color\, botanical materials offer a path toward more sustainable creative practices. Through stories of traditional pigment-making and modern experimentation\, Natalie connects the dots between art\, environmental awareness\, and responsible sourcing. \n \nNatalie will be selling and signing copies of From Plant to Pigment at the event! \nRSVP here!

SUMMARY:Tick Talk & Walk at Not Enough Acres Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 7th\, from 5:30pm-7pm for a Tick Talk & Walk at the Dennis Conservation Land Trust’s Not Enough Acres Farm. \nWe’ll be in safe hands with Escher Cattle\, an entomologist and extension educator for Barnstable County’s Cape Cod Cooperative Extension. Escher will take us tick sampling and flagging in a meadow on our property as an exercise. \nThe last thing you want to know is that we’ll have a good variety of ticks out and about as peak season is ramping up but good to know how we can spot and repel (as much as humanly possible) different ticks! \nEscher received his Bachelor of Science in Insect Ecology & Conservation from University of Delaware in 2018\, and his Master of Science in Entomology from North Carolina State University in 2025. He splits his time between training the Cape Cod Master Gardener program and tickborn disease prevention education\, providing expertise on all things creepy-crawly in his own playful-yet-informative way. \nRSVP here!

SUMMARY:Gardening Tips with Terra Firma Permagardens
DESCRIPTION:Back in October\, Peter Jensen of Terra Firma Permagardens taught us about building “biointensive double-dug garden beds.” This method may sound like a mouthful\, but it’s actually a really simple way to improve your soil and grow an abundance of healthy crops…even in a small backyard! \nOn Thursday\, May 7 at 3pm\, Peter will be back for a workshop about how you can plant “intensively” in these beds–that is maximize space to grow the most veggies! Join us at Not Enough Acres Farm for the fun. \nRSVP here.\nAbout Peter: \nPeter has been working for over 30 years in agroecological extension education and outreach support with a variety of international organizations in Africa\, Asia and The Americas. Peter developed the Terra Firma method as a low risk decision-making and action-taking process that can easily reach even the world’s most marginalized populations\, engaging them as ecosystem allies rather than enemies\, thus allowing ecosystem rehabilitation and family food security to become co-equal partners in community and ecosystem growth and empowerment. \n
