The new Bullitt Reservation, scheduled to open in the summer of 2010, completes a 3,000-acre jigsaw puzzle of conserved land in the Pioneer Valley region.

For more than a century, The Trustees have been on the ground in communities across Massachusetts, working to protect special places, providing loving care of our reservations, building creative new programs to engage people, and sharing our expertise with neighbors and partners across the state.
