Mark H. Robinson has served as Executive Director of The Compact of Cape
Cod Conservation Trusts, Inc. since its founding in 1986. The Compact provides
technical assistance to 32 local and regional land trusts operating on Cape Cod,
including landowner negotiations, fundraising, land management and
state/municipal coordination on open space projects. The Compact also
contracts with Cape Cod towns for their municipal open space projects. The
Compact serves as a national model of regional cooperation for land trusts.

A graduate of Williams College and the University of Rhode Island, Robinson
previously worked in regional government on coastal management and water
quality issues. He has served as Chairman of the Barnstable Conservation
Commission, Vice-Chair and Treasurer of the Massachusetts Land Trust
Coalition, and Vice-President of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod. He
serves as the Governor’s appointee to the Cape Cod National Seashore
Advisory Commission. He is an elected Water Commissioner for the Cotuit Fire
District and served as Chairman.

The US Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged Robinson’s work with a
lifetime achievement award in 2009. He has completed almost 1,000 land
preservation projects in Massachusetts, from the Cape to the Berkshires. He has
lectured on land conservation issues at national conferences.

Robinson lives in Cotuit and has two sons. He is an avid sailor and experienced
nature guide. “I fell in love with the Cape as a summer kid,” he says. “I am lucky
to have found a way as an adult to exercise my passion to preserve this place.”

LOG LUNCH has hosted weekly environmental speakers and a local food lunch since 1972!
