What’s At Stake?
The region has seen a steady increase in forest conversion to development, often threatening pristine areas and challenging resource protection efforts. Limited state and federal resources are available to protect and maintain important natural resources.

What We're Doing

• Protecting Massachusetts forests through collaboration with state agencies and the Forests and Parks Partnership
• Enhancing recreational access region-wide by developing the Stewardship Council for the recently-designated New England National Scenic Trail in Massachusetts and Connecticut
• Promoting a statewide strategy for windpower project siting in Massachusetts 

Get Involved

• Join the Conservation Action Network
• Get involved locally as a chapter trail volunteer, or through a Berkshire Teen Trail Crew
• Lead a Critical Treasure hike to raise awareness of natural resources in the area
