2025 Webinar Series

To kick off the new year and prepare for the launch of the organization’s new five-year strategic plan–For Everyone, Forever–The Trustees is hosting a three-part webinar series providing an opportunity to connect with our expert staff and hear the latest updates on our work. Join us for one, or all, of these webinars to learn how you can get more involved in our mission to protect the places people love.

Rewild Beaver Brook

The Trustees, in partnership with Hilltown Land Trust, is working to purchase and transform 288 acres of floodplain, wetlands, and forest into a dynamic hub for conservation, community, and recreation.

Situated along Route 9 in Williamsburg and Northampton, the Beaver Brook Golf Course has been manicured and manipulated, impacting the floodplains and native habitats of the valley. As a new Trustees property, the existing 9-hole golf course will be rewilded into a community park, offering accessible trails, scenic views, and enhanced climate resiliency.

Watch our April 16 presentation and hear from Katie Theoharides, President and CEO of The Trustees, Jennifer Dubois, VP of Land Conservation, and other Trustees staff about this momentous conservation effort and how you can be part of protecting this critical landscape.

Jennifer Dubois, VP of Land Conservation, The Trustees
