Join naturalist Mark Adams for a walk through Shank Painter and Clapps ponds. Presented by the Provincetown Conservation Trust and Provincetown Business Guild, this Welltown Community Hike leads us to Shank Painter pond which has been described as Provincetown's ecological crown jewel, containing the world's largest known quaking bog found on a barrier beach. Hawks, ospreys, and an array of rare flora are found in the Shank Painter Wildlife Sanctuary. We'll continue to Clapps pond, where we find one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Provincetown, home to many seabirds, migratory birds, turtles, and river otters.
