Celebrating Mary Oliver
Saturday, July 19 at 7pm
Provincetown’s Mary Oliver (1935-2019) is numbered among America’s most acclaimed poets. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Oliver was an indefatigable guide to the natural world, standing comfortably on the margins of things, on the line between earth and sky. Celebrate Oliver’s work and 90th Birthday with poetry readings, music, and a reception.
Free Admission.
When Climate Disaster Strikes
Saturday, August 2 at 7pm
What happens when a major natural disaster leaves communities isolated and shattered with staggering devastation? Celo was one such community, a remote intentional community founded as a land trust 88 years ago in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Helene’s impact had the opposite effect of the COVID pandemic — it brought people together to work in-person and cooperatively. Educator Tal Galton shares his compelling story of survival and rebirth.
Free admission.

The Wampanoag Design Team will Present the Paomet Monuments Study
Monday, August 25 at 5pm
The community is invited to review the CPA funded draft report by the Wampanoag Design Team working with the Truro Historical Society and Historical Commission. Four sites are under consideration for monuments/memorials to recognize the Paomet people who were stewards of our lands for millennia: (1) Truro Center Park – off to the side of our summer Farmers Market, this location is possibly a former Paomet summer village site, (2) High Head along the trails managed by the Truro Conservation Trust, and in view of Route 6, (3) Corn Hill site near Corn Hill Beach adjacent to the current monuments, and (4) Pond Village site on the pond near the current Pilgrim monument.
Free Admission.
Wild Fire Preparedness
Thursday, August 28 at 6pm
A roundtable discussion with local, regional, and state officials, fire chiefs, and key representatives of the Cape Cod National Seashore will update our community on what is being done and what should be done to prepare for and prevent a natural disaster. Lack of funding has allowed hundreds of dead trees and understory to go untouched for decades, posing risks for an area where thousands live and vacation. Fire roads now impassable, narrow access roads, and the lack of fire protection perimeters around the hundreds of houses within the National Seashore are among the many issues that will be addressed, as well as new CCNS permitting procedures for clearing. It is hoped the public roundtable will lead to the creation of a cooperative disaster preparedness plan for the region.
Free Admission
Enjoy after-event receptions in our expanded gathering space.
Most events are free unless otherwise noted.
