Our Story

The Take Care Cape Cod campaign was adopted in 2019 after Jill Talladay, Executive Director for CARE for the Cape and Islands, learned of a similar campaign in Lake Tahoe that yielded positive results for that area. Cape Cod is the second site in the country to adopt this campaign to help educate visitors and year round residents about how we can all join together to preserve our precious Cape Cod.

A special thanks to Take Care Tahoe, and Nathan Laver at BRONOTSAURUS! for their inspiration and considerable help in launching Take Care Cape Cod. We all hope Take Care can spread far and wide.

Take Care Cape Cod is supported by a collective group of more than 50 organizations that love Cape Cod and want to see more people connect with this beautiful natural environment.

While you are here, you can learn how you can help “Take Care” of Cape Cod with a fun campaign that pokes fun at the mistakes we all make when the beauty of Cape Cod takes our breath away.  Request the Toolkit and display our messages.

We believe Cape Cod is an environmental success story and a global role model for sustainability. We’re here to connect more people to our beautiful environment and nurture a culture of sustainability.​

Take Care!
