Natural Happenings

The Blog is an ongoing commentary on the plants, animals, and terrain on our protected properties. Read it frequently to see what the BLT board members and visitors have spotted as they monitor or stroll the preserves. If you see something interesting when you are visiting the Bellamy, Two Rivers, Long Horizons, or Canfield Preserves, email us.

GIVE LOCAL was quite an event! Thank you to all who supported the BLT. Watch for next year's event: It's an easy way to keep your membership current.

MISSION STATEMENT

To permanently protect and preserve local farmland, fields, forests, and wetlands through acquisition or easement; to conserve the natural, scenic, and historic resources of these properties and educate the public about them; and, where feasible, to provide access for their enjoyment by the community at large.
