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.



The Pascommuck Conservation Trust seeks to permanently protect land in Easthampton with significant naural and scenic resource value using techniques such as land donations, conservation easements, and other conservation methods.



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.
