Kestrel’s work to conserve, care for, and connect to the land is made possible by the support of our generous members – you! To express our appreciation, we invite you to join us on Sunday, October 3 for our first Outdoor Open House at Kestrel’s new Home on the Range.

Join us for one of three outdoor open house sessions: from 10 am to noon, 1 – 3 pm, or 4 – 6 pm. Each session will include a guided tour around the pond at the Town’s Sweet Alice Conservation Area, refreshments outdoors or in our sunroom, optional yard games, and time to relax at the Kestrel meadow and take in the view of the Mount Holyoke Range. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet and mingle with Kestrel staff and board members.

Kestrel is grateful for our 50-year partnership with the Town of Amherst and we are thrilled to join the Town in welcoming the public to the special Sweet Alice Conservation Area.

The October 3 open house is a free event for current Kestrel members. Please note:
