Support the Work

This work costs money in the most concrete and unglamorous ways. Seedlings and tree protection tubes for the oak planting. Fuel for the saws and the tractor. Gravel where a stream crossing gives out. Hand tools that wear out faster than expected. Occasional equipment rentals — audio gear for sound monitoring, a skid-steer attachment for trail drainage. Mileage for the Mass Audubon ecologists who come out to do the technical work. Time.

There are no salaries here. The forest management work is done by the landowner and by volunteers, with technical oversight from the conservation partnerships. What contributions fund is direct inputs into the land: the next batch of seedlings, the materials for the next trail section, the equipment that makes the invasive species removal go faster and reach further. It goes into the ground or onto the trail.

There are no tiers, no perks, no monthly subscription unless you want one. The model is simple: if the work here matters to you, a contribution of any size moves it forward. Whatever amount makes sense is the right amount.
