Cape Cod Today, June 25, 2008

Cape Cod Today reports that the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation is launching a new Park Passport program in 76 state parks this Saturday, June 28, 2008. The free program will provide park users with little blue passports and artist-designed stamps to let them document their park visits. The passports also include tips for safe hiking and a guide to identifying animal tracks. Part of the national No Child Left Inside initiative, the Park Passport program is being partly funded with a $36,000 grant from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust.

Participating parks include:

 Nickerson State Park in Brewster
 Scusset Beach State Reservation in Sandwich
 Shawme-Crowell State Forest in Sandwich
 Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Falmouth
