The
Pascommuck Conservation Trust is a non-profit, charitable organization,
formed in 1982, which protects important land and other natural
resources in Easthampton for the public benefit.
At
present, the Trust controls 16 properties in Easthampton, comprising
approximately 190 acres. The Trust has no paid staff and therefore
relies upon volunteers to carry out its mission. A Board of Directors
guides the Trust's efforts.
As
a community organization based in Easthampton, the Trust preserves
the community's treasured natural heritage and protects the quality
of its future through:
- Land
Conservation - The Trust is given or buys land or easements
(legal rights which protect natural resources on a property) with
scenic, natural, agricultural, or recreational value.
- Land
Stewardship - The Trust works with its neighbors to protect
and improve the Trust's land holdings.
- Environmental
Education - The Trust provides information about environmental issues.
- Community
Parks - The Trust creates and maintains neighborhood parks
and recreation areas.
