This remains our mission. THE TRUSTEES OF RESERVATIONS S 3 T R A T E G I C P L A N 2 0 1 Background The Challenge 7 For 116 years,The Trustees of Reservations have been preserving Today, Massachusetts faces an urgent challenge. Land is being for public use and enjoyment properties of exceptional scenic, developed and open space fragmented at a rapid pace, far in historic and ecological value in Massachusetts and working to excess of the rate of population growth. Land that is already protect special places across the state.This remains our mission. protected is not necessarily being well-cared for. As a result, the ecological and cultural fabric of Massachusetts is deteriorating We have grown from a small band of visionary volunteers who and the public health benefits associated with natural areas are founded the organization in 1891 to a complex organization with increasingly at risk. Our climate is changing because of the significant 180 year-round employees who are led by a recently streamlined increase in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping emissions. Left volunteer governance structure and supported by over 40,000 unchecked, the impacts of climate change will seriously impact our members. We care for 96 properties which comprise over 23,000 properties and the Massachusetts landscape and coastline. Put acres and we monitor 285 Conservation Restrictions protecting simply, we are losing the special places that define our communities another 16,700 acres. Having grown membership 113% and added and contribute to our quality of life. fifteen reservations over the past ten years, we are one of the most active members of the conservation community in Massachusetts. Time is short. The decisions about unprotected land will, in large measure, be made in the next 20 years. In this same period, the impacts from climate change will begin to take a serious toll if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced significantly. We must also manage the scenic, historic, and ecological features of the places that have already been “protected;” if we don’t, many of the things we value about our protected areas – their biodiversity, their ability to help provide clean drinking water and clean air, their community-defining features – will be lost. Unfortunately, many people are disconnected from the land and from their communities. They do not understand the problems or recognize the urgency. Those who do are too few in numbers, so there is insufficient pressure on state and local government to respond adequately.

Charles Eliot founded The Trustees of conservation and stewardship. on the premise that people and land are interconnected and that natural and cultural landscapes play a key role in supporting a healthy society. This premise – as relevant today as it was in 1891 – empowers us to take a comprehensive approach to “landscape” and people’s relationship to it.

  • Sharon Conservation Commission
    Conservation Commission Meeting Sharon Community Center April 27, 2017 - DRAFT Peg Arguimbau, Chair, Meredith Avery, Jon Wasserman, Michael Donatelle and Alan Westman were the members present. Members not present included Keevin Geller and Stephen Cremer. The Conservation Administrator, Greg Meister, was also present. A sign-in sheet is on file in the office listing other attendees of the meeting. Meeting started at 7:45pm 7:45pm –Violation Enforcement, 348 North Main Street Ed Little informed the Commission that the last time he met with them, he told members that he would be taking the manure off of his property. At this point in time, he has removed about 85 percent of the manure. He is working on removing the remaining material, however, due to the current rains; it is proving a bit challenging. Once the rains recede, he will continue removing the remaining pile. With respect to bringing the area back, he would prefer not to hire a consultant, but instead use landscapers and folks from Norfolk Aggie, with whom he has relationships. He will also pay whatever fine the Commission feels appropriate. Arguimbau mentioned that some of the area disturbed will come back on its own. She also mentioned that the correct type of seed mix should be used. Most importantly however, was for the land area to be brought back into good condition. She asked the rest of the Commission for their thoughts. Avery brought up timing of when the remaining manure would be removed. Additionally, she also noted that the correct seed mix should be used, and perhaps someone from the Aggie school should be present to assist with final removal of manure, so that not too much of the top soil is removed.

  • Winter Breeze
    The Southeast Breeze Quarterly newsletter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter Winter 2009-2010 — December, January, February View from the Chair By Wayne Anderson, Chapter Chair As I sit looking over my backyard with its landlocked Ark (hopefully where it will remain), I realize it has been a year since I began my term as Chair. It is easy to drift off reflecting upon how it was I got here (Thanks Mike!) and on all the fun that I have had in the past year filled with so many eventful AMC outings. My previous columns have focused on encouraging folks to get out and join an activity or a trip offered by one of our committees. I am pleased to report that there has been a significant increase in participation in our trips, bringing many new faces to the outdoors. I do not believe that this happened by chance. It was the result of many hours of work by our members and their continued effort in keeping the pipeline filled with activities planned for six months in advance. I would like to thank the executive board for its hard work and dedication. The board’s professionalism and support for the committees made it possible for them to offer such quality services and trips. Many thanks also to the committees that worked hard at keeping their activities dynamic and fresh. My final thanks go to the feet on the street – those who led, organized, or worked behind the scenes providing support for activities. Thank you all for your time and for your camaraderie in making this the most dynamic chapter in the club.
