Conservation Committee

The Conservation Committee hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including invasive plant removals, nature hikes, and trash cleanups. Monthly webinar topics have addressed wildlife conservation on Mt. Tom, forest health and carbon sequestration, invasive species, reptiles in Western Massachusetts, and the AMC's policy on solar siting. Recent legislative work has consisted of developing material regarding solar power developments in forests, contacting legislators about forest protection and an increased funding for DCR, and attending webinars on locating solar power off forests and farms. Let your voice be heard » We look forward to increasing the number of committee members, through webinars, meetings, and events, and are currently planning on holding more invasive plant removals, some family days with nature crafts, and trash cleanup events.
