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
