Our Vision

Mission

To conserve and share the Mahoosuc region's important natural lands with our communities, now and for the future

 

Why conserve land?

• Create public access for recreation

• Address climate change by protecting forests that capture carbon

• Protect watersheds to assure clean water

• Preserve lands that serve as wildlife corridors and provide habitat in perpetuity

 

We believe each of us can make a difference in protecting the future of the habitats we all depend on.
