Protecting Farm and Forest
Kestrel Land Trust and our partners are starting the year off right by conserving two wonderful places in our region: one farm and one forest. The farm is the iconic Teawaddle Hill Farm with 147-acres in Leverett. The forest is a 121-acre addition to the Mineral Hills Conservation Area in Northampton and Westhampton. We have $65,000 more to go to complete these projects. Now is your chance to help make sure these beautiful lands are protected forever!

Remembering Alexandra Dawson
“Everyone who knew Alexandra Dawson seems to agree. She was one of a kind, a force of nature, a giant in the conservation field, a complex character, a socially and politically fearless advocate who button-holed legislators and bureaucrats to seek clarity and action on every important environmental issue of her time.”
Read the rest of Judith Eiseman's tribute to Alexandra here.
Alexandra helped to conserve more than 2,000 acres of farmland during her lifetime. At the Dawson family's request, memorial donations may be made to Kestrel Land Trust to continue this legacy. To donate online, click on the button below.
