Paul Schulenburg’s paintings honor and preserve the living heritage of Chatham’s fishing fleet. Twenty years ago, when artist and illustrator Paul Schulenburg brought out his oil paints after not touching them for years, he found himself at the Chatham Fish Pier, searching for inspiration. “It was an overcast spring day, one of those gloomy Cape Cod days that is beautiful in its own right,” says Schulenburg.

Images of the sea and marine life often come to mind when considering Chatham’s natural bounty, but with its over 800 acres of land and upwards of five miles of trails, the Chatham Conservation Foundation invites a closer look at the area’s equally rich terrestrial biodiversity found just off the beaten path. While the CCF offers a wide range of programming for the community, their guided themed walks have been especially popular.
