While Kestrel Land Trust’s office is closed to help protect the health of our community, we continue our work to conserve, care for, and connect you to the forests, farms and riverways of the Pioneer Valley.
Make time to get outdoors—safely—for your mental and physical well-being.

PLACES TO LOVE IN THE VALLEY
“I will never forget the first time I drove into the Valley, my car loaded with my belongings as I transplanted my life from Texas to Northampton. I was completely awestruck by the wide-open beauty of the Valley’s fields, farms, and hillsides. Fifteen years later, it is still something I hold so dear and appreciate every day now that I have settled and started a family here.”
