The Compact honored Mon Cochran of Orleans and Tasia Blough of Brewster for their work in creating the Sipson Island Trust, raising $5+ million to buy Sipson Island and restoring the 22 acres including demolition of three houses. The island in Pleasant Bay is now open to the public for the first time.

On Wednesday August 26, MLTC Executive Director Katy Coburn, former MLTC Executive Director Robb Johnson, and MLTC board members joined a celebration of The Compact of Cape Cod’s 40th anniversary, honoring The Compact’s Executive Director Mark Robinson for an incredible 40 years of leadership.

Mark was recognized by colleagues and current and former Compact Board members for his dedication, vision, leadership, and humor. Under his leadership, the Compact has become a national model for regional conservation collaboration and is the second-oldest regional conservation collaborative after the Land Trust Alliance.

The evening also celebrated the determination and success of Tasia Blough and Mon Cochran to protect Sipson Island. Thank you Mark, Tasia, and Mon for your contributions to conservation!
