Its a wonderful project, she exclaims. It gives us that little extra funding (to address) these important environmental issues that affect us all. In similar vein, the mother of Megan and Jack Geiger, Assistant Town Accountant Nancy Geiger, is unequivocal in praising this FCW undertaking. She called the funding vital to the educational programs in Chatham, adding, Since Chatham is surrounded by water on three sides, its very important for students to learn to understand the marine life around them. Both our children have been on field trips to various sites like Oyster Pond and Jackknife Cove.For those with a yen for statistical underpinnings, its enough to say that this young FCW program has already brought invaluable hands-on learning to more than 270 boys and girls in Chatham schools. As Nancy Geiger puts it, what could be more vital for tomorrows citizens in a town with such a fragile, ever- shifting natural environment?Jackknife Cove as seen by infrared film.It is an important site for ongoing science experiments by Chatham students, with financing by FCW.E.
