Preserving our past. Protecting our future.
It was a cool cloudy blustery May day for the Spring Plant sale. A steady stream of patrons bought plants throughout the day at the Easthampton City Hall parking lot. Proceeds from all sales totaled $2,386.00. Plants sold totaled $1,484 and raffle ticket sales totaled $360. Memberships totaled $262 and T shirt and tote sales totaled $280. Thank You to everyone that participated!
Memorial benches have been placed at Broad Brook Meadows, Edward Dwyer, and Pomeroy Meadows conservation areas. There is continuing interest in purchasing Memorial Benches from the Trust. There are still some spots with excellent views available. The purchase of a bench helps the Trust maintain the property and public trails. If you are interested please use our contact form and someone from the Trust will be glad to help you.

Plants sold totaled $794 and raffle ticket sales totaled $217. Memberships totaled $185 and donations totaled $50. Thank You to everyone that participated!
Dear Friends of the Pascommuck Conservation Trust:
During this Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust has worked very hard to keep our trails open to the public with regular maintenance, welcome signs, and reminders to keep a safe distance between hikers while enjoying our properties.
Due to the unprecedented Stay Home directives over the past month, everyone is happy to get outdoors even for a little while. During this time, however, the use of our trails is much heavier than normal and because so many are enjoying the trails, they are even more in need of regular maintenance. This has become very costly for the Trust and many of our planned special projects for our nine properties will be suffering unless we get a little help from our friends. Like many local organizations, one of our special fund raisers, the Spring Plant Sale, had to be postponed in order to keep everyone safe. We are optimistic that we will be able to schedule the Fall Plant Sale once the safe re-open begins. In the meantime, however, funds are short and we need your help.
As you may know, the Pascommuck Conservation Trust is made up entirely of volunteers, neighbors and friends who appreciate the value of our treasured sites and work very hard to keep them manageable for all to enjoy. We realize that these are very difficult times for everyone, emotionally and financially, too. If you would like to help the Trust by making a contribution, large or small, to our Maintenance Endowment Fund, we would greatly appreciate it. Contributions may be made through Network For Good here or directly mailed to the Trust at PO Box 806, Easthampton, MA 01027.
Thank you very much. Together we will keep our trails open for everyone.
The Board of Directors
