Forward Movement
What does it take to move conservation forward in the 21st century? A strong foundation, bold ideas, and the support of people like you.
Just over a century ago, Charles Eliot, The Trustees' founder, changed the face of conservation in Massachusetts. He believed in saving land not just for its own sake, but for its power to refresh and renew the body, the mind, and the spirit.
But today, if the movement that Eliot sparked is going to survive, The Trustees’ work must evolve to embrace so much more: the many more people we can touch by reinvigorating an old farm into a vital and active part of its community… the many more families we can help discover the joys of growing their own healthy food… the many more people we can influence to make positive choices for our changing climate… and the many more people we can rouse to speak up for their neighborhood, for their community, and for the places they love.
It’s this spirit of community and connection that inspires our work across the state and which we celebrate in this special annual-report issue of Special Places – from the youth who have revitalized the fields at Westport Town Farm to the students who are celebrating the life of Elizabeth Freeman at the Ashley House; fromour new partners at the Bay Circuit Alliance to the gardeners who reshaped an underused lot into Dorchester’s largest community garden.
Fueled by their passion and yours, we are building a powerful movement of people who care about healthy communities, healthy families, and a healthy planet. |
