A number of cars and people were in the general area of Williston Ave. on Saturday due to the fishing derby taking place. Despite that, a steady flow of people came to find bargains at the tag sale. The Trust took in $381.00 from the tag sale and $576 from the raffle for a total of $957. Thank you to everyone who participated.
The 2025 Annual Meeting was attended by approximately 40 people.
Laurie Sanders, naturalist and co-director of Historic Northampton, provided an overview of the Manhan River watershed–from its geologic origins and special habitats to its role in human history and significance to conservation, recreation, wildlife, and climate change resilience. In addition she also presented wildlife from cameras she has set up in obscure locations. Here is a link to the video. on Facebook

PCT had a table at the December 8th Farmer’s Market in Room 141 next to the RMV. We will also be there on December 15th. Come by to say hi and see what the Trust is working on these days!
On January 4th members of PCT as well as the Pioneer Valley Hiking Club came together to celebrate Bill Burgart’s birthday. He is now in his mid eighties. Bill is one of the founding members of PCT and is still on the board. A good time was had by all!
