  • Weekend Getaways to Berkshires, MA from Boston Or New York | Fodor's
    Arts and Culture Weekend Getaway in the Berkshire Mountains Distance from New York City: 169 miles Best time: May to November Best for: Girl's GetawayArts and CultureFood and Wine It's little wonder that culture hounds makes their way to Western Massachusetts each summer. The hamlets nestled in the Berkshire Mountains are blessed with terrific art, music, theater, and antiquing. Here, eight museums join renowned stage productions and dance festivals, plus a little music venue called Tanglewood. All that, plus a gorgeous natural setting of mountains and meadows—accessible on foot, bike, raft, balloon, horse, or even llama—is enough to uplift spirits. And there's no shortage of spas here, in the event you need extra help working out the kinks. –By Lisa Oppenheimer Friday The Berkshire Mountains Cheat Sheet View a printable list of all sights, restaurants, entertainment, and hotels from this itinerary. View 1. Get your bearings by venturing into Downtown Lenox. Poke your head in and around the shops and galleries located along the main thoroughfares of Main, Franklin, Church, and West streets. 2. Enjoy a lovely dinner in the outdoor courtyard of Cafe Lucia, a Berkshires favorite that's been dishing up Italian specialties based on local ingredients for the last three decades. 3. In season, there's nothing more soothing than al fresco entertainment on the historic grounds of Tanglewood. (Even with no show on, it's still worth visiting to experience the setting.) Classical greats perform at the Koussevitzky Shed, while smaller shows go on at the newer Ozawa Hall. Economical lawn seats are almost always available on the fly except during big events such as James Taylor nights.

  • Wild Canid Distribution and Co-Existence in a Natural–Urban Matrix of the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts

Organ Wild Canid Distribution and Co-existence in a Natural–Urban Matrix of the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts Eric G. LeFlore1, Todd K. Fuller1,*, John T. Finn1, Stephen DeStefano2, and John F. Organ3 Abstract - Although development and urbanization are typically believed to have negative iMpacts on carnivoran species, soMe species can successFully navigate an urban Matrix. Sympatric carnivorans compete for limited resources in urban areas, likely with system- specifc impacts to their distributions and activity patterns. We used automatically triggered wildlife cameras to assess the local distribution and co-existence of Canis latrans (Coyote), Vulpes vulpes (Red Fox), and Urocyon cinereoargenteus (Gray Fox) across the Pioneer Valley, MA, in relation to different levels of human development. We placed cameras at 79 locations in Forested, altered, and urban land-use areas FroM SepteMber to NoveMber 2012 and accumulated 1670 trap nights. We determined site characteristics and detection rates For 12 other wildliFe species For each caMera location to develop a generalized linear model for the local distribution of each focal canid species across the study area. We also coMpared diel activity patterns aMong Coyotes, Red Foxes, and Gray Foxes, and calculated coeffcients of overlap between each pair. The local distribution of Coyotes was positively associated with the detection rates oF their prey and not associated with detection rates of syMpatric carnivoran species. Red Foxes and Gray Foxes had negative relationships with the detection rate oF Coyotes, and none oF the 3 canid species showed a positive correlation with increased levels of urbanization.

  • Where Is Northampton, Massachusetts?
    WHERE IS NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS? Northampton is bordered by Easthampton on the south, Westhampton on the west, Williamsburg and Hatfield on the north and is separated by the Connecticut river from Hadley on the east. Northampton is 43 miles east of Pittsfield; 93 miles west of Boston; and 151 miles north from New York city. Northampton is a lively, diverse community located in the heart of the Five College Area of the Pionner Valley. Home to Smith College, Northampton also serves as the county seat of Hampshire County. It is located at the intersection of Route 91 (north-south New England corridor) and Route 9 (east-west highway) which links Amherst and the University of Massachusetts with the hilltowns of the west. The downtown of Northampton is alive days and evenings with a wide selection of restaurants, coffee and ice-cream shops, theatres including the only municipally owned theatre in the state, clubs featuring an array of music, street musicians and a Center for the Arts. HISTORIES OF THE TOWNS OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS Heritage Surveys, Inc. is building a compilation of historical pictures and sketches of the towns of Western Massachusetts from its archives of ephemera and books. This is a work in progress. Northampton Main Street – 1879 Witches, Shays Rebellion and Other Early History Northampton in its early days was a strict New England community. By 1656, witch hysteria had reached this western outpost. One woman, Mary Parsons, was tried twice but acquitted both times. Famed minister Jonathan Edwards, whose stern writings inspired a religious fervor called the "Great Awakening", lived in Northampton for 23 years.

    RESEARCH REPORT ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS 2019 KEY FINDINGS Mission WFWM advances gender equity by providing community investments informed by research and best practices both locally and nationally. Community investments include: • Responsive Initiatives: Creating or supporting opportunities that have already proven they can catalyze girls and women in Western Massachusetts • Capacity Building for Nonprofits Serving Women and Girls: Strengthening and sustaining nonprofits that serve women and girls through technical assistance, leadership development scholarships, and the provision of data and research • Impact Training: Providing women and girl leaders the advocacy and policy tools they need to dismantle systems 2 WOMEN’S FUND OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS KEY FINDINGS Welcome from the CEO The Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts is pleased to share our second research report focusing on women and this time, expanding the lens to include girls: The Status of Women and Girls in Western Massachusetts, 2019. Since the publication of our Status of Women in Western Massachusetts, 2013, we have seen progress in a number of areas for women, as well as places to grow. In terms of progress, we see that more women are being educated at both the high school and college levels. While the trend is in the right direction, there is much room to grow, particularly in Hampden County. We see progress with more women being elected to office, but we must encourage women to reach higher so we can achieve shared leadership. Additionally, our region is very slowly becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. While most of Western Massachusetts’ diversity still lies within Hampden County, the other three counties have made small gains.
