Causes to Support

Our Environment

We believe in building and supporting healthy communities. A healthy community has good schools, safe neighborhoods, strong public services and most critically, a sound environment.

Massachusetts continues to have a wonderful network of green corridors, a mix of towns and open spaces that remind us of our roots in the New England village. Yet in MetroWest, many of our towns are dealing with issues such as suburban sprawl, land preservation, invasive species, water safety, and of course climate change. We’re committed to helping protect and preserve our environment, especially as our citizens embrace the concepts of a green economy and smart growth.

Our 2009 Grantees were:

New England Wildflower Society
This grant will support developing two educational tours that reflect the visible seasonal differences in the Garden in the Woods. The tours will be in MP3 format, downloadable from our website, and available on site on pre-loaded players. For more information visit: www.newenglandwild.org.
Southborough Open Land Project
This Grant will allow the Project to hire a consultant to run the first year of their Stewardship and Outreach Program. For more information visit: www.solf.org.
