LAND TRUSTS
LAND CONSERVATION IN THE PIONEER VALLEY
Our Mission Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust protects significant natural, agricultural, and scenic areas and encourages land stewardship in North Central and Western Massachusetts for the benefit of the environment, the economy and future generations.
The Immediate Threat
We are at an important crossroads in North Central and Western Massachusetts, One road leads to the irreversible sprawl that we are all too familiar with. The other road will perpetuate our rich mosaic of forested and agricultural lands, healthy streams and ponds, biodiversity, and scenic and historic properties. The first road diminishes the beauty and importance of natural systems. The second road protects them, fitting human uses to natural systems.
Development pressures are unprecedented. It is imperative to protect land while there is still a chance to do so. The next 5 to 10 years may determine the long-term character of our region. We have a great responsibility to guard against ecological and scenic decline.
