Our aim is to protect the New England charm and rural character of our communities, promote proactive conservation, and the creation of greenways and wildlife corridors. Opacum Land Trust is able to permanently protect open space through donation or purchase of land, bargain sales, or by holding a conservation easement. To accomplish these tasks, your membership and donations are necessary. Please help us reach our conservation goals and become a member today! What are your land conservation options? Visit our projects page or contact Opacum Land Trustl A special note: as we begin the New Year 2008 Opacum conserved a total of 105 acres in eight years of its existence, bringing the official total of 603 acres permanently preserved, consisting of 8 properties in 5 towns. Thanks and gratitude to all for helping us to build on our successes, and for making positive differences in our communities. Thanks to all - Opacum Land Trust What's Growing in YOUR backyard? You are invited to join Ted Elliman and staff members from the New Engalnd Wildflower Society (www.newfs.org) as they conduct a botanical survey of Opacum Woods and the adjacent Herve & Mary Jane Gaumond Memorial Sanctuary. The dates for the survey will be Saturday, June 14, Tuesday, July 15, and Tuesday, July 22. In addition, and Invasive Species Work Day will be held on Monday, September 22. Each session will last from 10:00am to 3:00pm. You can come for one day, or all four. Did you know that there are more endangered plants than animals in Massachusetts? This is a great oppertunity to learn more about what's growing right in your own backyard. We will be learing about botanical survey goals and techniques, documenting rare plants, and mapping invasive species. In October, staff of the New England Wildflower Society will make a presentation of the survey results and provide Opacum with a stewardship plan for these properties so that we may work towards preserving the natural biodiversity present.
