Welcome to Special Places
Welcome to the online edition of Special Places. This quarterly publication exclusively for Trustees Members is designed to help you discover and enjoy Trustees special places, find programs and events, and learn about the latest Trustees news and information.
We All Belong in Nature
At the heart of the Trustees mission is a powerful belief: the landscapes the organization protects are “for everyone.” But what does this promise mean when some special places are still out of reach for certain communities?
Tending the Trails: Spotlight on Stewardship
The Trustees’ stewardship and trails teams work tirelessly across our special places to invest in and maintain these spaces for visitor enjoyment. To provide a glimpse of the vast work being done across the state, we sat down with Joshua Reynolds, Central & Valley Region Trails Specialist, to learn more about what a day is like for him and his colleagues.
Shorebird Report

Settle into a beautiful New England fall with events on our farms, trails, Halloween fun, and more.
