Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PRESERVE OPEN SPACE IN STOW, MASSACHUSETTS.
EDUCATION - SCT SEEKS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING LAND FOR THE FUTURE VIA VARIOUS COMMUNITY EVENTS AND AWARENESS- GENERATING ACTIVITIES. THIS YEAR WE COMPLETED PHASE TWO OF OUR ENHANCED NATURE TRAIL FOR KIDS IN OUR LEGGETT PROPERTY, INSTALLING A SCULPTURE GARDEN ALONG THE TRAIL. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC THIS YEAR SOME OF OUR NORMAL EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES WERE CURTAILED, BUT WE DID HAVE OUR ANNUAL MEETING VIA ZOOM, DURING WHICH TWO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY SHOWED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE WIDE RANGE OF WILDLIFE IN STOW FROM THEIR TRAIL CAMERAS.
STEWARDSHIP - SCT ACTIVELY STEWARDS SEVERAL CONSERVATION PROPERTIES IN TOWN, MONITORING FOR ENCROACHMENTS AND MAINTAINING TRAILS FOR USE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS YEAR WE EMPLOYED OUR VOLUNTEER "STEW CREW" ON NUMEROUS STEWARDSHIP EVENTS INCLUDING TRAIL MARKING/MAINTENANCE, REFRESHING INFORMATION KIOSKS, IMPROVING PARKING LOTS, AND REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO WORK WITH A BEAVER EXPERT TO REVIEW OUR OPTIONS FOR A NEW BEAVER DAM THAT IS FLOODING ONE OF OUR TRAILS.
LAND CONSERVATION AND OUTREACH - THE TRUST ACQUIRES OR FACILITATES ACQUISITION OF LAND IN STOW, MA, TO PRESERVE IT AS OPEN SPACE. TRUST MEMBERS WORK WITH LAND OWNERS, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND OTHER LAND TRUSTS TO PROVIDE EXPERTISE IN PLANNING, ORGANIZING, AND PRESENTING CASES FOR FUTURE LAND ACQUISITIONS OR CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS. THIS YEAR OUR LAND PROTECTION SPECIALISTS ADVANCED SEVERAL POTENTIAL LAND DEAL PROJECTS, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO COME TO CLOSURE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
