As of July 2001 annual report 2001 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

One of the roles of this annual report is to provide an overview of the organization's accomplishments during the past year that your support made possible. However, it is first and foremost an expression of thanks and accounting to you, our members and supporters.

I am very proud to report that 2001 was an exceptional year for The Trustees. Our achievements ranged from protecting more than 4,500 acres of land to preserving our cultural and natural resources through the many projects that were launched or completed. During the year, stimulating programs and activities introduced our work to thousands of new supporters from across Massachusetts.

Four themes emerge as the keys to our success: forming partnerships to accelerate conservation; providing expanded education and training; exemplary stewardship; and enlisting the support of volunteers to help carry out our mission.

The exciting partnerships we launched this past year allowed us to achieve landscape protection at a large scale (the Southeastern Massachusetts Bioreserve) while sharing our stewardship knowledge and expertise at a small, but important, scale (community gardens in Boston). While the scope of these two projects varied, both helped The Trustees provide land conservation and stewardship to people in Boston, Fall River, and New Bedford.

Building partnerships in urban areas underscored the need to reach out to people through education and training. The land conservation challenges in Massachusetts require us to inspire more people to join the cause—we just can't protect land fast enough by our- selves. Thus, we expanded our education and training for people and other conservation organizations. One of our most far-ranging initiatives was the commitment to construct the Doyle Conservation Center, a training and resource center in Leominster for land Executive Director conservation groups throughout Massachusetts and beyond.

While the future holds increased outreach and new partnerships, our management of the properties entrusted to us is guided by a dedication to exemplary stewardship. Examples range from the completion of the major phases of the reconstruction work at the Casino wall at

Castle Hill to the use of grazing sheep as a viable land management tool. Maintaining the precarious balance between appropriate public access and use and the protection of cultural and natural resources is crucial to exemplary stewardship, as demonstrated in our recently updated management plan for Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge on Nantucket.

Volunteers continue to be a source of strength. This past year, a major effort was launched to engage our Corporate Trustees through a series of regional forums where participants shared ideas for improving our effectiveness. Their good ideas will guide our future efforts.

My first year at The Trustees surpassed my greatest expectations. I have been continually energized by the hard work and expertise of staff, the dedication of volunteers and supporters, and the excitement expressed by our members and visitors. Clearly, your level of support indi- cates that you are noticing the great strides we are making in our three-fold commitment to conservation, stewardship, and people.

Thank you for helping to make this an extraordinary year. With your help, we will continue to keep pace with the challenges ahead! As always, I welcome your thoughts and perspectives on our work (978/524-1854 or [email protected]).

A GOOD THING TO DO

For thirty years, Corporate Trustees Marion and Doug Leach have savored

their view of Tyringham Cobble and served as informal caretakers of this

206-acre Berkshire property. A neighbor and good friend first inspired their

interest in The Trustees by encouraging them to collect dead wood and

clear brush from the reservation. Over the years, these active member

volunteers have lovingly tended this landscape, clearing trails, mending

fences, and greeting the property's many visitors.

Through their almost daily walks at Tyringham Cobble, and their long

association with The Trustees, Marion and Doug have come to appreciate

our work protecting and preserving the scenic beauty of western

Massachusetts, where attractive landscapes face increasing threat from

development. "Someday," says Doug, "the people at this end of the state

are going to wake up and see what's happening around them."

Doug and Marion decided not to wait themselves. To aid The Trustees'

land protection and stewardship efforts in the region, the Leaches recently

donated an income-producing house to a charitable remainder unitrust.

This rental property, which they owned for many years, had become an

increasing burden at a time when they wished to simplify their lives.

Marion and Doug transferred the house to the unitrust, avoiding capital

gains taxes on its appreciated value. The property was subsequently sold,

Doug and Marion and proceeds from the sale have been invested to generate income. The arrangement frees them of a Leach atTyringham responsibility, provides secure, increased income for life, and enables them to make a very generous Cobble. gift to The Trustees. As Doug says, "It was a good thing to do."

To learn how you can receive increased income and reduce capital gains and

estate taxes, while making a substantial contribution to The Trustees, please contact:
